🚨 2024 Smart ForTwo: Emergency Neutral

Smart discontinued the ForTwo for the U.S. market after 2019; no 2024 gas ForTwo exists in North America.

🧰 Drafted with AI under the editorial review of Chris Hackleman & Jeff Moore — cross-check against your owner’s manual when possible.
⚠️ Chock the wheels first — neutral means the car can roll. Set the parking brake while you work, never stand downhill of the vehicle, and try a 12-volt jump before any override: power fixes most stuck-in-park problems instantly.

The procedure

  1. Verify the actual model year and market—Smart ForTwo production ended in 2019 for North America and 2023 globally, with no gas models after that point
  2. If you have a different Smart model (such as the electric EQ ForTwo or the #1 crossover), refer to the correct procedure for that vehicle
With zero electrical power
