Model: BMW Serie 1 F20, F21, MK 2 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Key
Operation: How to replace the battery in the BMW 1 Series remote control

In today's video we see how to replace the service battery in the BMW 1 Series F20, or the second series of the German average. This tutorial also applies to other contemporary models of the house, equipped with the same unit. First we proceed by opening the cover of the key, helping ourselves with the metal sword supplied; in fact, it is a keyless type key. Once this is done we can access the battery compartment and proceed to remove the old unit from the car. We can then insert the new battery and test its operation. If everything ok we can finish the job.

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.
