Operation: Mazda car brake fluid top-up and maintenance

Let's see together how to check and manage the maintenance of our car. The first step to open the engine compartment is to lift the internal release lever located at the bottom left of the car dashboard, exactly next to the steering wheel. The second step is to lift the bonnet making it safe with the rod in dodatione. Unscrew the brake oil cap and top up the pan if necessary. Always remember not to exceed the recommended level indicated on the side of the trays. It is always advisable to carry out this type of maintenance with the engine off and cold, so that the hot oil in circulation does not escape causing damage.

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.
