Kia Sportage - Video tutorial

Model: Kia Sportage MK 5, NQ5 - Years 2021-2024
Part: Cigarette Lighter
Operation: Where is the cigarette lighter socket located in the KIA Sportage?

If the cigarette lighter socket of our KIA Sportage has suddenly stopped working, the first thing we can do is check the status of the corresponding fuse, whose location is indicated in this video. As shown, the fuse in question is located in the box inside the cabin, behind the small driver's storage compartment, and is labeled with the name "Power Outlet". If it is faulty, make sure to replace it with a replacement of the same characteristics, namely 20A, and always operate with the vehicle turned off, otherwise we may damage the various connected devices.

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.
