Car was driving OK, stopped to shop, started the car but no gears. The indicator is blank (not showing N,1,A or 0 ). No clicking of actuator and reverse light not going. The Key symbol flashes about 3-4 times when the car is started. have disconnected the battery locked and unlocked the car, foot on the brake etc., there is a beeping sound. Any Ideas? I'm thinking the Clutch actuator! Was having intermittent problems with reverse.. regards Cres

Could be one of two things Dean.
1- The transmission motor could need to be readjusted , and that is easy and always first choice. Under the car look at the transmission on the right hand side you will see a small motor with 3 bolts , loosen the bolts but do not remove , then open the ignition , do not start the car. ignition off and then tighten the bolts. Start the car and check it out. If still the same ...
2- Most probably you have a problem with the clutch and needs to be replaced.
Good luck
SOURCE: Smart for two X on dash, locks not responding.
Most probably you have a synchronization problem between key and the car.As signal is received since the signals are flashing , but security is not responding.
First , if you have a spare key , try it and see if that works. If not you need to reprogram the keys again.
You can do that at any authorized Smart service center and it should not take much time to do it.
Good luck

How did you fix problem? I have the same issue. Thanks
Sector gear on actuator stripped, replaced actuator and re-coded... I must add that the whole system is slow in that when you select a position on the gear stick there is a slow response through the electronics. Even with the new actuator response is slow on starting procedure. So far best way of starting the car is, turn on ignition, select N, start engine with foot OFF the brake, once started put foot on the brake and select R/1 etc., seems to have resolved the issues.n
