Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart Roadster, 452 - Years 2003-2005
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How do I replace the shift knob on the Smart 452?

In order to replace the Smart 452 gear knob, you have to grab it and hold down the button on its side. In this way it will be possible to pull upwards and disengage the knob from the upper part of the lever. Once the old knob has been removed from the gear lever, it will be possible to insert a new one, positioning it at the end and fitting it together. After the new knob has been inserted correctly, it will be necessary to check that it does not prevent normal use of the gear lever and that it is perfectly welded to its housing.

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.
