Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2023
Part: Tires
Operation: Spare wheel installation instructions

On many new generation cars, the spare wheel is no longer supplied but an inflation kit is supplied and the spare wheel has been inserted in the accessories line: think of the savings on the part of the manufacturers by not having to supply rims anymore, tire and tool kit. Having said that, if you need to install the spare wheel, proceed as follows: retrieve the tool kit from under the driver's seat; open the rear lid and use the wheel pin key to lower the spare wheel; loosen the pins of the wheel to be replaced before lifting the car; apply the jack in the point marked with the arrow and lift the car to remove the wheel and install the spare one; once the car has been lowered, tighten the pins.

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.
