Apply the handbrake on Ford Fiesta 2017

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Hand brake

Excluding those cars with electronic devices, the operation of the handbrake on normal cars with a lever brake consists of a system of steel cables connected to calipers and drums that allow them to be locked. The tension of the cables is controlled by the lever which, over time, could loosen. It is easy to understand, the lever will be not very rigid and very soft. Here's how to stretch the cables on Ford Fiesta. The first step is to remove the center console. There are no screws, so you will have to pull it out manually by making lateral movements to unlock the clips. The bolt to be tightened is located at the base of the lever, at the front. You will now need a size 10 hex socket wrench to tighten the bolt just enough. Do two or three tests while tightening to find the right stiffness of the lever, tightening too much the car will remain braked.

As shown, the battery is not located in the classic engine compartment housing but is instead inside the cabin, precisely under the access step to the driver's cabin. To access it, it will be sufficient to remove the latter by removing all the relevant fixing screws. To remove the battery, it will be enough to unscrew the bolt of the lower bracket and, starting from the negative, disconnect both terminals.
