How to deactivate the Start&Stop system of the Smart 451

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Onboard computer

Disabling the START&STOP system of the Smart 451 permanently is a very simple operation, which can be carried out independently thanks to our short video tutorial. To deactivate the system, it is necessary to open the compartment of the system using a flat-head screwdriver, located on the lower dashboard near the gear shift. Once the compartment is open, disconnect the connector. Insert an electrical wire inside the connector to create a bridge between conduit 4 and conduit 2, then seal everything with high-temperature insulating tape and reintroduce the connector into the compartment without connecting it. Close the compartment and turn on the ignition, the light will flash but the system will no longer be able to function.

How to Replace the Front Headlamp Bulb on a Fiat Grande Punto

To replace the front headlamp bulb on a Fiat Grande Punto, first open the bonnet. Once done, access the rear of the headlamp where the bulb needs replacing (the bulb is of type H4). Locate the rubber cover that protects the electrical contacts and bulbs from water and moisture. Remove it by pulling on the tab. Now, pull the connector for the bulb's power supply and disconnect it from its position. At this point, push down on the top of the spring that holds the bulb in place, and you can extract the bulb from its housing. To fit the new bulb, follow the steps in reverse as shown in the images. The video also shows how to remove the position bulb, which is located just below the H4. After disconnecting the power supply, you can extract it along with the bulb holder by pressing the two tabs to release it and pulling. The bulb can then be removed from its position in the bulb holder.
