Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 453 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Instrument cluster
Operation: Smart Fortwo clock adjustment

Hi everyone! Today we are going to see an adjustment that will seem trivial to most but which is sometimes more complicated than expected. We are on a Smart Fortwo, and we are going to set the time on our digital panel. First of all turn on the ignition, then hold down the button at the bottom right, under the red light that looks like an exclamation point. Press and hold for several seconds (many people press for a moment and give up thinking it doesn't work) until the time starts flashing. Now release the button for a second and start holding it again. This way the hour will advance quickly. When you get to the right value, release the button.

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.
