Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Key
Operation: How to open a Ford Focus key and change the battery

How to open the Ford Focus key and change the battery? Let's see how to do it. We take our remote control key and press the side buttons; we remove the plastic with the Ford logo (we remove the metal key). With the help of a screwdriver we pry between the two parts of the plastic key cover. We take out the worn battery. We take a new battery of the same size and voltage and insert it into the key. We join the two covers on our remote control by pressing on the key cover until you hear the lock click. We mount the metal key in the cover. We check the exact functioning of the remote control key.

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.
