Do we want to proceed with a DIY mode to replace the battery of our car? In the description below, we find all the instructions and procedure to follow for a correct and safe replacement. First, it is necessary to purchase a new battery that has the same potential and amperage as the one provided by the manufacturer. Once we open the engine hood, we find the battery on the left side and can proceed to first unscrew the fastening screws of the upper plate.

Remove the battery from the compartment and replace it with the new one by first reconnecting the positive pole and then the negative one, and finally reconnecting the fastening screws of the upper plate.

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.
