Operation: How to replace the cabin filter on a Smart Forfour

In this video tutorial we can see how it is possible to replace the cabin filter on a Smart Forfour, following some simple steps: the first thing we have to do is to buy a new pollen filter; next step we have to get in the car and turn off the engine and apply the handbrake. The cabin filter on this car can be found under the glove compartment so we have to remove the two plastic clips and remove the cover; now we have to remove the filter cover and remove the filter element from the inside. Once the filter element has been removed, we must position the new filter following the indications of the arrows on the filter itself.

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.
