Kia Sorento - Video tutorial

Model: Kia Sorento MK 3 - Years 2014-2020
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to open the locked fuel door in the KIA Sorento?

In our KIA Sorento, it is possible for the fuel door to become locked, for example due to a malfunction of the actuator or the control located inside the cabin. In both cases, it is possible to perform an emergency opening of the door by following the instructions provided in this tutorial. First, we open the trunk door, and then, using a flat-tip screwdriver, we remove the small panel located on the left wall of the compartment. Once this is done, we grab the indicated cord and pull it towards us to unlock the door latch.

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.
