Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini F55, F56, F57 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Key
Operation: How does the Mini key work?

Today we will look at the functionality of the Mini remote control. The first button is the padlock: it allows us to open the car and, if kept pressed, also the windows and the sunroof (if present). The second button is the one with the Mini logos: Holding it down, it closes the car's doors, windows and mirrors. The last button instead is the one with the stylized car: this button allows us to open only the rear trunk, without unlocking the car doors. To start the car, on the other hand, just keep it in your pocket and press the corresponding button on the dashboard of the car.

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.
