Remove the cover under the handle and unscrew the two sealing screws with a torx wrench. Remove the plastic retainers of the panel with the help of the spatula and gently remove the panel along the edges which must be removed carefully. Remove the speaker cover on the mount with the aid of a plastic tool by prying the edges and disconnect the connector. Remove the side cover and disconnect the electrical cable connector. Remove the handle cables and electrical contacts, disconnecting the connectors, being careful not to tear them. Reassemble the panel starting with the connection of the electrical cables.

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.
