Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 453 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Gear oil
Operation: Change gear oil on Smart 453

Today we will show you how to change the gear oil on the Smart 453. Lift the car with a jack and place a support stand under it. Using the 8 mm Allen key, unscrew the gearbox drain plug and collect the used oil in a tray. When this process has come to an end, tighten the drain hole and start loading new lubricant from the top fill hole. It is advisable to use synthetic oil for manual transmission SAE 75W (you will need about 2 liters or a little more, it costs about € 15 per liter). It is also recommended to perform this small maintenance every approximately 45,000 kilometers.

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.
