Video tutorial

In this video, we will see how to remove the annoying creaks heard inside many examples of the Renault Clio V: start with the panel that covers the thickness of the dashboard: once you have removed the side cover, you just need to remove one bolt from underneath, and then it is all clipped in; another piece to lift is the gear gaiter, which we raise using a plastic spatula; inside there are two screws holding the support, which is fixed at the front part of the dashboard; you must be very careful not to break anything, then the piece will come off whole, but you need to watch out for the various electrical connectors.

In this video, it is not shown, but after removing all these pieces that normally creak, an adhesive foam tape is fixed that provides a small but sufficient thickness, creating a sort of barrier that prevents the hard plastic pieces - perhaps not assembled in the best way - from rubbing against each other at every little bump.

How to reset the Service light on a 2019 Jeep Renegade?

The Service light, depicted as a yellow spanner, illuminates as scheduled to remind the driver that it is time for scheduled maintenance. This means that the set mileage has been reached, or the expected time has passed. The procedure involves turning on the instrument cluster, pressing the accelerator three times, and then turning off the ignition. After this, keep the brake pressed, turn the ignition back on, and then turn it off again. Upon the next ignition, you will notice that the light has been reset.
