Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Lock
Operation: Front hood opening instructions

If you have never owned a Ford, at the first need to open the front hood, perhaps even for a trivial check of the water and oil level, you will be amazed not to find any lever under the dashboard, along the pillar of the door, as in all common cars; in fact, the front hood of the Ford can be opened using the ignition key: a lock is located under the front frieze which blocks the closure of the hood; then rotate the frieze to access the lock, insert the key and rotate first to the left to open the lock and then to the right to release the pawl and allow the bonnet to be raised.

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.
