Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W203 - Years 2000-2007
Part: Central tunnel
Operation: How to move the automatic gearshift lever

If it happens that the car gets stuck in the parking position and with a flat battery, therefore without the possibility of turning on the ignition to move the gear lever, it is possible to carry out this procedure manually: just under the gear lever there is a button which, once pressed, allows you to move the gear lever freely and then move it to neutral position to be able at least to move the car. There are two ways to reach this button: the first method does not involve the disassembly of any element but only the aid of a ZETA-shaped tool; therefore open the bottle holder just behind the gear lever, remove the internal lining and insert the tool to reach the button; in the same way, unhook the frame at the base of the gear lever, remove the boot and the lining of the central tunnel to be able to intercept the button.

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.
