Citroen C5 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C5 RD, MK 2, X7 - Years 2008-2017
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How do we open the engine hood on a Citroen C5?

How do we open the front engine bonnet of our car to top up the fluids? Let's see in this video how to perform maintenance on a Citroen C5. In most cars, the front bonnet opens by pulling a lever located inside the car, just like in our case. We open the car door (driver's side), pull the plastic lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard. Once the lever is pulled, we move the lever located under the bonnet (using our fingers) and lift the car bonnet as shown in the video. To close the bonnet, simply lower it from a relatively low height to avoid damaging the car.

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.
