Part: Airbags
Operation: How to deactivate the passenger airbag in the Skoda Octavia

In the following mini guide we will find out together how to manually deactivate the passenger airbag in your new Skoda Octavia. Before starting, we remind you that this is an operation to be carried out only and exclusively in special cases (for example airbag malfunctions and/or other anomalies) and for short periods. First you have to get the physical emergency key contained in the key out by pressing the appropriate button on the cover. Then open the passenger door and locate the airbag activation/deactivation mechanism at the end of the dashboard. Insert the key and set the indicator to "Off". To reactivate the airbag, simply set it to "On".

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.
