Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 500 L - Years 2012-2023
Part: Battery
Operation: How to install an oversized battery on a Fiat 500L

How to replace the battery of a Fiat 500L with a higher power one, FIAMM type L380P which also has a built-in check. We start by removing the battery to be replaced, disconnecting the negative, then we remove the positive pole. We remove the upper and lower clips. We remove the band that holds the battery in place, with a 13 mm wrench. We put it aside for later and remove the battery. Even though the new battery is more generous in size than the other, it fits in easily. Let's go over the whole procedure in reverse. We take the bracket and engage it, closing it with the 13 mm key. We engage the two clips. Then we connect the positive, and finally the negative. Job finished.

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.
