Mazda Cx 7 - Video tutorial

Model: Mazda Cx 7 MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Particulate filter
Operation: How to start the forced regeneration process on a Mazda CX7.

In this video, we see that the DPF warning light is on in this Mazda CX 7 on the dashboard, so our YouTuber will show us how to perform the forced regeneration process. To do this, we will need a piece of wire (as seen in the video), but let's see how to use it: in the upper left part of the engine compartment, we find a small plug. The first thing to do is to remove the cover. We will use the wire we have obtained to connect these two terminals (the engine must be off, but the car must be warm, otherwise the process will not work). Now we start the engine and press the accelerator pedal all the way down twice. In this way, the car has automatically shifted the idle speed to 1800 rpm and the regeneration process has been initiated; this procedure takes a maximum of 60 minutes, and at the end, the car will return to its normal idle level. Then you run it for about three more minutes to bring it back to its normal state before turning it off.

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.
