Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Key
Operation: Replace the Ford Focus and Fiesta remote control battery.

To replace the battery of the Ford Focus key / remote control (but the operation is also valid for the Ford Fiesta), we must first remove the section of the shell, of the remote control, which is on the opposite side than where the command keys are located. Once this is done, we extract the real metal key from its seat. Now, let's proceed to detach the entire shell, from the other half, leveraging, using a screwdriver, along the entire perimeter of the shell. At this point, we have access to the battery compartment. We remove it from its seat and replace it with a new battery. We repeat all the operations seen, following them backwards, and that's it!

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.
