Mazda CX-5 - Video tutorial

Model: Mazda CX-5 MK 1, KE - Years 2012-2017
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to open the fuel door that is stuck on the Mazda CX-5?

In the Mazda CX-5, it is possible for the fuel tank door to get stuck, for example due to a malfunction in the control or lock actuator. In both cases, it is possible to open it using the emergency procedure shown in this tutorial. First, we open the trunk door, then we remove the door located on the left wall using a flat-headed screwdriver. Next, we locate the cable of the mechanism, grab it, and pull it towards us, thus unlocking the lock. At this point, we can either refuel or repair the faulty element.

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.
