Part: Key
Operation: How to replace the battery in the remote control of the Fiat 500L

Replacing the 500L remote control battery is very simple and this operation can be adapted to all Fiat models equipped with this type of remote control. First of all you will have to open the cover in two, to do so you will have to press the chromed button which is used to operate the physical key in order to release it from its seat. Inside the housing of the physical key, in correspondence with the side where the buttons are not present, two hooks will be visible that fix the cover to the body of the remote control and which can be released by applying a little force with the hands. Once the cover is opened there will be a small round lid that will keep the battery inside, this will have to be rotated using the slot in the upper part in order to unlock the fixing mechanism and be able to remove it, the direction of rotation will be indicated by symbols placed in correspondence with the slot. After removing the round lid, you will have access to the battery which can be replaced with a new one and you can then proceed by closing the lid and the cover.

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.
