Part: Antenna
Operation: How to replace the Smart 450 radio antenna

If you notice reception problems with your stock radio, you will most likely need to replace the antenna. Fortunately this is a very simple operation to be carried out even in total autonomy. It will be enough for you to put into practice the following indications. First park the car on a level surface and turn it off completely. Go to the antenna and unscrew it by rotating it counterclockwise (you can help yourself with pliers or a wrench). Once this is done, take the new antenna and insert it into the hole provided. Rotate it clockwise until it is completely screwed in and that's it.

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.
