Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 - Years 2007-2022
Part: Seat
Operation: How to replace the seat reclining lever in the Abarth 500?

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the reclining lever of the front seat in the Abarth 500, a very simple operation. First of all, we locate the indicated plastic strip, then pull it outwards and open both rear zips. Next, we completely remove the backrest by removing the metal clips and repeat the operation for the front side, being careful not to damage the airbag cable. Once this is done, we remove the screw inside the lever, detach the control cord from the end and proceed with the replacement by following the reverse procedure.

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.
