How do you start the Smart car?

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Checks and maintenance

In order to start the Smart car, it is obviously necessary to insert the ignition key into the corresponding slot: however, this is not located to the right of the steering column as in most cars. In this model, the ignition slot is located on the central tunnel immediately behind the gear selector: once this has been placed in position N, it will be possible to insert the key into the slot and turn it to position 2. By doing so, the car will start and it will be possible to turn it off by turning the key in the opposite direction.
