Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2023
Operation: Guide to the operation of the new Fiat 500 Hybrid engine

In this guide we will discover how the new Hybrid engine of the Fiat 500 works, also installed on the Panda. In fact, the addition of the electric motor ensures a further reduction in CO2 emissions and consequently lower fuel consumption; it is paired with a new 1.0L 3-cylinder engine. The electric motor in question provides an additional boost thanks to energy recovery during braking and deceleration of the vehicle; furthermore, by putting the gearbox in neutral (when indicated by the dashboard and at a speed below 30 km/h), the vehicle will turn off the internal combustion engine, allowing the vehicle to move by inertia in urban use.

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.
