How to Change the Time on your Smart Car & much more

- This video came to me today. I have been a Smart car owner for over 4 years and never knew how to reset my trip computer. I then also gave it a little thought as to if people actually knew what all the icons were on the dashboard.. there isn't a temperature gauge on my display etc etc.
I put this together rather rapidly and hope people find it of some benefit.
Do you use your Stop Start?? tell me in the comments below please.
Please, keep safe during this Covid 19 scare..

Sorry if this is a dumb question - I'm new to smart cars. Your video is making me feel it's more normal but want to double check - when I turn the ignition on all the warning lights pop up, and then go off. But the oil and engine light stays on longer than the others, as they do in this video. But they're not on while driving etc. I just want to check that it's normal, or if it is a pre-warning that something needs looking at? Thanks!
Hi. It’s just a start up diagnostic process if they stay on.... clearly it’s then time to investigate further with an OBD READER or call your breakdown provider. 😉. Definitely NOT a dumb question.
@@smarte.r.1450 Phew! Thanks so much for getting back to me (and so quickly)! I was hoping that was the case, so it's a relief. My feeling was that they do go off eventually so all is fine, but you never know! Thanks again! :)
Thanks for these great videos.. you're a lifesaver.. can you do one on changing the spark plugs on these please? Would really appreciate it
akib2542 it’s on the list 💪
@@smarte.r.1450 hey. I actually changed them the other day. Not that difficult if you've got the right tools.. access is a bit of a pain but you get used to the angles after a bit..👍
Do you know how to change the digital KM into MPH ? Also I cannot find how to turn passengers airbag on and off ? Thankyou
Hi
This guy has a huge amount of resources. Try this link for the air bag

Looks like it’s a software hack for the digital speedo from kph to mph

Thanks so much. It was really bugging me, not knowing how to change the clock :)
Glad you found it useful. This little car is a great little box of tricks. Checkout the other videos you’ll be surprised at what else you may need to know in the future 😁
I can’t change the time on mine? Hold the button but it doesn’t flash?!?
@@reed0 what country are you in and what year and model?

Can you do a video on how to change the gearbox oil? Other than that, great tutorials.
ThatNamibianGuy that’s one I am looking at. I will need to rent a “lift” so will be a couple of months off yet
Great video! I just used it to change my trip miles and clock. Thanks!
Also, the seat belt on my driver's side doesn't click in. Any advice?
Wayne Star wooohoo
Thanks for taking the time to comment
You’ll probably be better off changing the complete unit ... they can be cleaned but fiddly and not sure if that’s legal to be completely frank as it may contravene safety specifications
@@smarte.r.1450 That's what I thought you might say. I needed to hear it from the expert, just to make sure. Thank you very much!
Wayne... I’m no expert. Just been around these little things a few years and picked up stuff along the way. Plenty around in Scrappy’s and eBay
Here’s one. Not sure what side you need though
Good luck

Smart E.R. I am having problems with my turn signal bulb blowing out all the time. I change it and it will blow out in a few weeks. It's my left turn signal. Any ideas as why this is happening? Thanks
Mike Samuel this is getting regular in my comments ...
1 buy a GOOD QUALITY bulb not the cheapest.
2 check for ANY moisture in the light cluster unit (does it dog or most?)
3 is it front or rear?
4 Is yours a cabriolet?
@@smarte.r.1450 rear, no moisture, fortow.
Done a bit more digging. If you aren’t buying VERY GOOD QUALITY bulbs it is most likely this or..... get your alternator checked. It should produce no more than 14.7volts at 1000rpm or higher. If it does..... this is a likely problem.
Good luck
Could you do a video on chainging the rear differential fluid??
Will look into it... I thought it was a sealed unit though
Smart E.R. Hi smart ER I have the most annoying thing going on with my smart car fortwo 2005 model. Could you please help! I’ve went to 3 mechanics and few other places but no one can seem to know where a noise is coming from.
Have a problem getting into gear car will start but then three horizontal lines come up
Sorry to hear this. It’s a common problem. It COULD be the actuator is stuck. Switch in ignition to position one foot on brake push gear to 1. Switch off ignition. Get out the car and rock it back and forth.
Get back in car position neautral for gears and try and start the car
Please help i got a -52 show up when i first start my car
Not heard of this before but found the - Hold your foot on the brake pedal and push the gear lever to the neutral position. key to position 2 briefly and the car will start the engine. On the diesel smart, as you turn the key to position 1 the preheater light will come on. When this light goes out you can turn the key briefly to position 2 to start the car.
Also. Lookup evilution a great smart car resource. Good luck
Anyone know how to turn off the speed volume control???? I changed the radio hoping that would help and $500 later its still does it 🤦♂️FML
Lookup the website evilution he’s pretty good but I don’t know sorry
Hi is there a way to see fuel consumption?
Not on the 451 series no I’m sorry
@@smarte.r.1450 do you maybe know what is the fuel consumption in city? on a diesel
@@SamSulek.Videos funnily enough… I do!!! The red for two on my channel was a diesel. Around town I was getting roughly 65-70 mpg (UK) about 90 on a long run at 60mph
any more content coming soon?
I have some plans in the new year for a restoration project currently looking for a donor car
my FUEL gauge is stuck on full, any ideas
Faulty sender
Some people on smart forum, say fill it up, then drive 100 miles, and fill it up and it may clear, your thoughts please
@@smarte.r.1450 any chance you could do a video on sender change
@@TheGippy30 it’s the sender if that happens and it will happen again. Try it I guess let me know if it works 😏
@@smarte.r.1450 any chance you could do a video on sender change
It only have a light for the motor temperature?
No gauge for it?
When the red temperature lights up it's time to open your wallet?
Basically. Yes
What a pointless video it's virtually impossible to hear unless one has dogs' hearing. Waste of time
I am sorry you didn’t find this useful. I’ll take note of the audio quality in future. I would say though this is the ONLY comment about the audio being so poor it was not helpful. The intro music though…. It’s awful 😢 however 12k views not that many 👎. Hope you find what you need though. Have a great weekend
