Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2022
Part: Battery
Operation: How to replace the battery in the Fiat 500 1.2?

In this tutorial we can see how to replace the battery in the petrol-powered Fiat 500 1.2. Before proceeding, make sure that the key is not inserted in order to operate safely. We start by opening the bonnet, then we release the clip of the negative terminal, disconnect it and loosen the nut of the positive terminal, then disconnecting it too. Once this is done, we unscrew the lower bolt of the retaining strap and take the old battery out of the housing. To fit the spare part, simply follow the reverse procedure, taking care to reconnect the positive pole first.

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.
