Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W203 - Years 2000-2007
Part: Airbags
Operation: Airbag control unit replacement instructions

In the event of a collision, the airbag control unit memorizes the crash and must be replaced with a new one: this control unit is located under the central console of the dashboard, practically below the ash-laying compartment; in order to be able to disassemble it, you must first unhook the gear lever boot, the frame that covers the central tunnel and then unhook and extract the ash-laying compartment and then be able to disassemble the climate control controls; at this point there is enough room for maneuver to be able to access the fixing screws of the airbag control unit and then be able to remove and replace it.

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.
