Operation: How to remove the electric handbrake without starting the Renault Captur car

To remove the automatic handbrake of the Renault Captur when it is off (even with a flat battery.), We note that when we turn off the car the electronic handbrake is activated. To remove the handbrake, we turn off the car if it is not already off by pressing the button with the gear engaged, open the driver's door, press the brake pedal, turn on the ignition by pressing the button (engage the gear, otherwise if the gearbox The car starts in neutral), we press the handbrake button downwards, we notice that the red light went out in the first time, but then it came on again, then we press it again and we notice that the red light has gone out and the car warns us that we are without the handbrake. At this point we can turn off the ignition and the car will have disengaged the handbrake and if we want to move the car we have to put the gear in neutral with the car off. To reactivate the electronic handbrake, with the car running, press the handbrake button upwards and the handbrake is engaged.

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.
