Honda Civic - Video tutorial

Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to open the trunk hatch locked in the Honda Civic?

In the Honda Civic, it may happen that the trunk door gets stuck, for example due to a problem with the control button or the lock actuator. In these cases, we can perform an emergency opening following the simple procedure shown in this tutorial. First, we open the rear doors, then we lower the backrest of the sofa by operating the corresponding lever. Next, we go inside the trunk compartment, remove the indicated cap, and, using a flat-tipped screwdriver, unlock the mechanism. The trunk door will now be free to open.

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.
