Citroen Cactus - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen Cactus MK 1 - Years 2014-2020
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to open the engine hood of the Citroen C4 Cactus.

Today's steps will show us how to proceed with opening the engine hood of the Citroen C4 Cactus, following these simple instructions. First, we open the front door on the driver's side and start pulling the plastic lever located at the bottom next to the pedals, thus releasing the engine hood lock. Then, we move to the front of the car and completely release the lock from the levers located in the central part (between the front bumper and the engine hood), as shown in the video. All that's left is to secure the engine hood rod!

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.
