Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2022
Part: Wheel
Operation: Comparison between summer and winter tires on the Fiat 500 Abarth.

In this video, we can see a comparison between two tires, 195/45 R16 84V, at a temperature of -9.5°C on snowy, wet, and icy ground. The tires are mounted on two Fiat Abarth 500 cars. One car has winter tires, while the other has summer tires, so we can see their different behaviors. The car equipped with winter tires is able to handle the described conditions with optimal grip, reduced braking distance, lateral grip in curves, and uphill acceleration. The summer equipment, on the other hand, shows difficulties in several points, but especially on downhill slopes, the situation becomes even more delicate, and only the instructor driver is able to handle the car, which is unstable.

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.
