Operation: How to remove the airbag on a Fiat Punto

Today we are going to see two ways to remove the airbag of our Fiat Punto. The first method is to insert two hex keys in two small holes located in the lower part and on the sides of the steering wheel so as to be able to release the hooks and pull out the airbag. The second method consists in disassembling the plastic that covers the steering rod, to do this it is enough to remove all the screws and bolts that hold the two plastics together, after having access to the rear of the steering we can go and unlock the hooks (inserting two keys hexagonal) placed behind it and pull out the airbag.

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.
