Operation: How to remove the door panel of the Smart

In this video we will see how to remove the driver's side door panel of the Smart first series. Let's start by removing the deflector, then unscrew the screws that we find in the space obtained, remembering to disconnect the power connectors. Let's now remove the rubber gasket. Then we unscrew the two screws in the door panel that hold the external handle in place, then we pull the external panel of the door by pulling it towards us. We remove the handle bush. Now let's go back inside and unhook the inside handle. We proceed to replace the sleeve and then reassemble the panel.

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.
