Operation: How to replace the battery of the key on a BMW 1 Series.

We can see thanks to this very short and simple video tutorial all the necessary steps to replace the battery of the remote control of a second-generation BMW 1 Series, model produced from 2011 to 2019. This operation is also valid for various models of BMW 1 Series from other generations with a similar remote control. First, we remove the physical key from the remote control, then we remove the back cover by levering it from one of the appropriate tabs. Once the cover is removed, we immediately have the old battery in front of us to replace, so we replace it and finally close everything. The necessary battery is the DL2450 3V.

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.
