Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Windscreen wipers
Operation: Change the wiper water

Today we see how to add the wiper fluid to the reservoir of our Smart Fortwo. After releasing the two levers located at the end of the grille near the front hood, simply remove the plastic part in order to locate the wiper fluid reservoir. Next to the engine water tank we will find the tank in question also recognizable by the symbol placed on the cap. Now it will be enough to open it to be able to add the liquid, being careful not to use only water to avoid the creation of limescale. Once this step has been carried out, it will be sufficient to put the plastic of the bonnet back in its place, and close the fixing levers.

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.
