Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Airbags
Operation: How to remove the airbag of a Fiat 500

Before we can start, we will have to open the front door of the driver's side of our Fiat 500. Let's start by unscrewing and removing the screws that secure the lower steering column cover, and then removing the cover itself. After that, we will have to unscrew and remove the rear screws that secure the airbag to the steering wheel. By doing so, we will have released the airbag itself. At this point, we will have to extract the airbag from the steering wheel, and then disconnect the relative electrical connector. When we have disconnected the connector, we will be able to remove the airbag, and we will have finished the disassembly.

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.
