Operation: How do you remove the Smart 450 lock actuator?

In order to remove the Smart 450 lock actuator, you need to remove the internal cover in correspondence with the external rearview mirror, in order to loosen the screws below. In this way it will be possible to remove the mirror; subsequently, you will have to unscrew the screw on the internal panel, which is on the other side of the door: in this way you can remove the external handle. In addition, after removing the glass seal, the outer door panel can be removed by accessing the actuator. By unscrewing its fixing screws and disconnecting its connectors, it will be possible to remove it and replace it with a new spare part.

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.
