BMW Serie 5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Outside rearview mirror
Operation: External rearview mirror adjustment

The rear-view mirrors of cars are part of the exterior mirrors through which the driver can observe the traffic behind him. While manual mirrors used to be the norm, today there are many electric mirrors that are more convenient for the driver to use. With the manual ones the driver had to have a lot of patience and, even, the right mirror had to be adjusted by another person. The electronically adjustable exterior mirrors as shown in the guide, on the other hand, can be placed in the desired position with a joystick, in a few seconds and very easily.

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.
