BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Windscreen wipers
Operation: Rain sensor activation instructions

On the side of the wiper blade control lever, there is the rain sensor activation button: pressing the button, a green LED lights up which signals the activation of the rain sensor. With the function activated, the wiper blades will automatically activate when the rain sensor (positioned in the center of the windscreen, just behind the rear-view mirror) is covered by water; the sensor is also able to adjust the speed of the brushes according to the level of intensity of the rain; if you manually change the speed setting, the automatic function is deactivated.

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.
