Emergency unlocking of rear-end door
The rear-end door in the smart fortwo can be unlocked from the inside in an emergency, if the trunk lid central
locking motor for operating the rotary tumbler is defective or de-energized.
Emergency unlocking in smart fortwo coupé
To do this, a small tab at the side of the trunk lid lock
paneling must be carefully bent over or broken off to
produce a small hole.
A shop-made wire must then be inserted through the
small hole so that enough downward pressure is
exerted on the relay lever in the door lock to unlock
the rear-end door at the top.
A description of the procedure for manufacturing the
emergency release wire in the workshop is given in
the Workshop Information System (WIS).

Emergency unlocking in smart fortwo cabrio
In order to open the two door locks in the cabrio, a
hole must be accurately marked on the inside of the
rear-end door on each side. Then a hole of 0.2 in (5
mm) diameter is drilled through the paneling on each
side of the rear-end door..
A suitable screwdriver is inserted into each hole and
the rear-end door is unlocked by moving the screw-
driver handles simultaneously in the directions of the
arrows.
The exact dimensions for the holes and a detailed
description of the procedure can be found in the
Workshop Information System (WIS).
