Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Battery
Operation: How to change the battery of the Fiat 500

If you intend to change the battery of your car independently, but do not know how to do it, do not be afraid because it will be enough for you to follow the following indications. In addition, for a higher level of safety, we recommend that you wear insulated gloves and leave the engine off for the entire duration of the operation. Unlock the front hood by pressing the button located under the steering wheel and raise it completely. Locate the battery (driver's side) and remove the safety lock by unscrewing the bolt located in the lower area of the battery. Disconnect the two poles (first the negative one characterized by the black color and then the positive one in red). Lift the battery and replace it with the new one. Reconnect the two poles and reposition the safety lock correctly. Finally, close the hood.

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.
