Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart Roadster, 452 - Years 2003-2005
Part: Steering wheel
Operation: How do you replace the steering wheel of the Smart 452?

In order to replace the steering wheel of the Smart 452 you must first disconnect the battery, to prevent the front airbag from activating erroneously. Once the battery has been disconnected, it will be necessary to unscrew the bolts located in the lower part of the steering wheel: these are T40 screws. By loosening these screws, the steering wheel can be detached from its drive shaft, also disconnecting the horn and airbag connectors. At this point, it will be possible to insert the new steering wheel, which must be connected to the connectors and fixed with the appropriate screws.

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.
