Operation: Removing the rear hood panel

If no more liquid comes out of the rear washer fluid nozzle but when pressing the lever you hear the noise of the pump, it is possible that the nozzle is clogged or that the tube that brings the liquid to the nozzle is broken; to be able to inspect it, the rear bonnet trim panel must be removed; start by removing the expansion-type push-stops by pressing the center pin inward; remove the rear lock lining and disassemble the frame around the internal safety; at this point it is possible to release the panel by levering along the edges.

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.
