Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2023
Part: Bodywork
Operation: A secret compartment in the Fiat 500.

In this video, we will discover another secret compartment that we can find in our Fiat 500. It is a very small compartment, but it can be useful for storing documents or small objects that we do not want to leave visible on the seat when we lock the car and go about our business. In reality, our cars are full of these secret compartments, and for some inexplicable reason, the car manufacturers do not even make them known to the dealerships. As a result, the dealerships, not being aware of them, do not inform us about them at the time of delivery, so we have to discover them ourselves. In this case, if we put our hand under the passenger side dashboard and pull down, we will bring down the small compartment that we mentioned earlier.

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.
