Citroen C5 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C5 DC, MK 1 - Years 2000-2008
Part: Airbags
Operation: Driver airbag removal instructions

First of all, it is suggested to carry out this maintenance by disconnecting the battery to avoid both the ignition of any airbag anomaly warning light but above all to exclude that the device may accidentally activate. The driver airbag is fixed to the steering wheel by means of tabs and spring and in order to remove it it is therefore necessary to lever the tabs themselves to be able to release them: behind the steering wheel spokes there are in fact two slots through which a screwdriver can be inserted fixed with which to leverage the aforementioned tabs; to make the maneuver easier, it is advisable to remove the plastic covering shells of the light switch controls.

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.
