Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 500 L - Years 2012-2023
Part: Steering wheel
Operation: Came remove the steering wheel on the Fiat 500.

To remove the steering wheel (and, consequently, to be able to remove the airbag housed in it) it is necessary, first of all, to unlock and extract the airbag lock, positioned in the center of the steering wheel itself (under the horn). To unlock it, we use a small screwdriver that must be inserted, respectively, in one of the three slots, present in the rear part of the steering wheel. In this way, we unlock the clips that hold the airbag lock in place. Once the same has been extracted from its seat, disconnect the power supply cables. Using the appropriate key, unscrew the central bolt that blocks the steering wheel, remove the switch block on the steering wheel itself, and disconnect the electric cables and, in this way, we can remove the steering wheel from its seat.

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.
