451 smart fortwo

I tried this about 20 times or so using advice from others and i finally started trying my own variations until one worked. Those of you who have been trying for a while may want to try this because i was in the same boat which i call the frustration express.

1-turn the key to the on position and press the button on left side of spedometer twice, holding it in on the second tap.(tap quickly, sort of like your double clicking a mouse. the service indicator should be blinking even when you turn the key off)

2-turn key off while still holding the button down, release button afterwards-this was important

3-without wasting any time press and hold the same button (on left) and then quickly turn the key to the on position again. wait ten seconds and the indicator should stop flashing. the mileage indicator will say 10,000 which indicates when your next oil change is due(if that is the service that was needed)

Yes very similar to the other posts but the difference is holding it down on the second tap and releasing it after turning the key off, then pressing it again instead of just holding it down the whole time.

I hope this helps, good luck!

Hate to pun the title of this thread... but doing something stupid would have been paying the Tint Butchers for the hack they did. And to MAKE THEM REPLACE the parts... well... I wouldn't let THEM lay another hand on the car. Get them to pay a com...

As Robert says: see Evilution for an illustrated guide on engine oil change: http://www.evilution.co.uk/index.php?id=198 I still can't see any value in the TPMS (Tire Pressure Management System) and at those repair costs, I'd ignore / disable the...

The engine oil is separate from the transaxle. The drain plug for the oil is on the right side of the engine and takes a 24mm or 15/16" wrench. The drain plug for the transaxle is on the left-hand side and takes an 8mm allen socket. The fill-plug ...
