Operation: How do you deactivate the Active Hood System light on the Hyundai Santa Fe?

In order to deactivate the Active Hood System warning light on the Hyundai Santa Fe, you need to connect a diagnostic tool to the car's OBD port. This port can be found below the steering column. Once the scanner is connected, you can proceed by selecting the specific car model and its corresponding version. After that, you will be able to identify the error that is causing the warning light to turn on and remove it using the scanner. Once the error is removed, you will notice that the warning light turns off.

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.
