Alfa Romeo 159 - Video tutorial

Model: Alfa Romeo 159 MK 1 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Airbags
Operation: How to replace the steering wheel airbag and reset the warning light on Alfa Romeo 159

In this video we will see the steps that will allow us to remove and replace the steering wheel airbag, as well as to reset the warning light that will come on later. To remove the airbag we are going to unscrew the screws that we find under the steering wheel cap, removing it; then remove the airbag by disconnecting the electrical connector on the back. At this point, replace it with the new one and proceed with resetting the airbag warning light; to do this, let's insert and remove the ignition key three times (turning the instrument panel on and off): inserting the key for the fourth time we will see that our warning light will be reset!

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
