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.
