Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 FN, FC - Years 2002-2009
Part: Bodywork
Operation: How to open the hood on the Citroen C3

In this video tutorial you can see how the engine hood of a Citroen C3 opens and closes, following some simple practical steps: first you need to secure your vehicle with the handbrake on. So once you are in your vehicle the first thing you need to do is pull the tab on the left side of the dashboard at the bottom, above the clutch, brake and accelerator pedals. At this point get out of the car and go to the front of the car where the hood is. Raise the hood slightly and pull the tab to release the hood so that you can raise it. Once lifted, put it in a safe place to prevent it from closing, using the special rod. Do your maintenance and then remove the rod paying attention; close the hood by letting it fall from a certain distance; always make sure that it is closed correctly.

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.
