Check Handbrake Functionality

Model: Renault Clio Clio 2, MK 2 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Parking brake

Place the gear lever in first gear, release the handbrake, and lift the rear wheel; then check that with the handbrake released, the wheel spins freely; repeat the same check by pulling the handbrake one click; pull again for one more click and you will notice that the wheel no longer spins freely; at the third click, the wheel is practically locked; at this point, repeat the same check on the other wheel ensuring it behaves the same way in the three positions of the handbrake lever (free at the first click, braking at the second, and locked at the third).

How to Install Roof Bars on a Fiat 500L

Learn how to fit universal roof bars on a Fiat 500L. These bars are used on vehicles with or without roof rails. Assemble the roof bar kit (as shown in the video) with bars adjusted to the width of the vehicle (measure with a tape measure). Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the vehicle's original roof rails. Once the anchoring bracket width is set, tighten the bolts with a butterfly nut (if a lock is present) until fully secured to the roof rails. Fit safety caps on both sides.
