Operation: How to remove the airbag on the Fiat 500.

If we want to proceed in a DIY mode to disassemble the driver's side airbag on this car model, in the following description we will find all the information and steps to be taken for replacement. After accessing the cabin, use a torx key to unscrew and unlock the plastic covering bolts of the steering column, which allow you to unlock and then remove the central group of the steering wheel where the horn and airbag are located.

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.
