Mazda 3 - Video tutorial

Model: Mazda 3 BK, MK 1 - Years 2003-2009
Part: Dashboard
Operation: Instrument panel disassembly instructions

To be able to disassemble the instrument panel it is necessary to remove some elements of the dashboard trim: start by releasing the central molding fixed with pressure clips (just pry along the edges to release it); go to the part of the trim immediately under the steering wheel and then remove the trim frame of the instrument panel, which also includes the upper cover of the light switch controls. At this point it is possible to unscrew the fixing screws of the instrument panel, pull it forward and unhook the power sockets to complete the disassembly.

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.
