Jeep Patriot - Video tutorial

Model: Jeep Patriot MK 1 - Years 2007-2017
Part: Dashboard
Operation: How do I remove the central dashboard panel of the Jeep Patriot?

In order to remove the central panel of the dashboard of the Jeep Patriot it is necessary to unscrew the gear knob, so that it can be removed from the relative lever. In this way it will be possible to remove the plastic cover placed around the lever and loosen the screws below. Subsequently, it will be necessary to remove the plastic panel of the upper part of the dashboard, loosening the screws underneath. This will allow you to detach the entire panel that surrounds the radio and the climate control controls: by disconnecting the rear connectors it will be possible to completely remove the piece.

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.
