How do you reset the automatic transmission of the Smart car?

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Warning light – error code

If the Smart's instrument panel shows a flashing letter N, it means that there is a malfunction with the automatic transmission. To temporarily resolve this issue, you can engage a gear when the engine is off. Then, with the gear engaged and the ignition key in position two, you will need to push the car so that it can start. Once the clutch is released during the pushing operation, the car will start. However, it is important to promptly go to a workshop to perform a diagnosis and identify the cause of the anomaly.

How to Remove the Front Shock Absorber on a Peugeot 406

How to remove the front shock absorber on a Peugeot 406? The first step is to lift the bonnet and secure it with the prop rod. Use a socket wrench to unscrew the shock absorber mounting bolts (engine bay), lift the car on a column lift and remove the front wheel. Unscrew the shock absorber mounting bolts at the wheel hub (detach the brake line clips with a screwdriver). Unscrew the bolts on the side, then remove the shock absorber from its housing (place a support under the bar). Compare the old part with the new one and prepare for installation. Fit the new shock absorber to the car, working in reverse order.
