How to Manually Unlock the Automatic Gearbox on a Fiat 500

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Checks and maintenance

Do you want to manually unlock the automatic gearbox on a Fiat 500? Let’s see how to proceed in this video. First, take the gear knob and check its locking status, then remove the cover cap located at the edge of the centre console (right side). To unlock: push the ignition key into the hole (see the video for how to unlock without the cover plastics), and move the gear knob through the various gear positions. Finally, refit the cover cap that was removed earlier. If you cannot unlock it, remove the plastics.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
