In this video, we see how to adjust the handbrake of a 2015 Ford Ecosport: we need to pull up the gear shift boot so that we can remove the center console, which allows us to access the handbrake adjustment. Removing the console is not difficult, as it is all pressure-fit, just be gentle to avoid breaking anything.

Then, with a 10 mm extension key, we reach the screw that adjusts the tension of the handbrake cable: remember that the handbrake should not go beyond three or four notches at most, so if it goes higher, we need to tighten it accordingly. Once we achieve our goal, we can put everything back in place.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
