Kia Sportage - Video tutorial

Model: Kia Sportage MK 4, QL - Years 2016-2022
Part: Battery
Operation: Battery replacement for Kia Sportage MK4

If the battery of the Kia Sportage is discharged and there is no possibility of recharging it, we must proceed to replace it. We open the hood of the engine compartment, remove the two plastic clips that secure the air duct and remove it, underneath we will find the battery housing. Using a socket wrench with an extension, we unscrew the nut that secures the bracket to the base of the battery. Loosen and remove the two clamps from the terminals, remove the old battery using its handle. Insert a new one with the same characteristics, secure it with the bracket at the base, tighten the clamps on the terminals, reassemble the duct securing it with its clips.

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.
