Good morning,
Sorry to hear about your troubles with your smarty.
Po500 code is a VSS Vehicle speed sensor code which usually is generated by a fault from the transmission “electrical” verses mechanical.
In the search bar above type in “Thee lines on dash” and you will come up with a mountain of information from others who have had this problem and fixed it.
From what I’m understanding it seems to be something to do with the clutch actuator, possibly a lose or corroded connection.

(My Mercedes vehicles do this too, but I still think it's super)I also like to go manual via the shift knob going up, or...- 2

Rear License Plate Mounting
smart Operation and MaintenanceHello, Is there any specific part numbers for the hardware for mounting the rear license plate. The dealer had a few different screws, but they couldn't locate what the screws attached to? Even after looking at their computer system they are unable to locate anything. Thanks.- 5
