Part: Central tunnel
Operation: Central tunnel disassembly - first part

Remove the leather gear lever boot: lever under the chromed frame to release it and remove the lever knob. Open the ashtray door in order to unhook the cover placed around the gear lever: unhook it from the front and then remove it forwards. At this point, remove the ashtray drawer: press the two plastic tabs on the side to release them and extract the ashtray drawer by disconnecting the sockets connected to it. Proceed to disassembling the food container located immediately behind the gear lever: unhook the coin holder and remove it; open the food holder support and remove the "rubber mat" placed on the bottom of the container; slightly pull the food holder support upwards to release it and remove it with a twisting movement. At this point, unhook the cigarette lighter support and rotate it inside the container drawer so as to be able, if necessary, to extract the damper closure located right above this drawer (the damper closure slides inside two tracks placed on the side of the drawer) : however, it is not necessary to remove it, just keep it open until it stops. Using a 10mm socket wrench, unscrew the two fixing pins located immediately under the cigarette lighter support. Then lift the armrest to access the glove compartment and remove the mat placed on the bottom of the container: in the back there are two other 10mm screws that must be unscrewed.

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.
