Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Battery
Operation: Turn on the Smart with the discharged battery

Today we are going to turn on a Smart 451 with a low battery. We enter the passenger side vehicle, lift the carpet placed under the mat so as to identify the battery to be powered through the starter-booster. Once the battery has been identified, turn on the starter-booster and connect the red cable on the side with the + (positive) symbol and the black cable with the - (negative) symbol. Now just turn on the ignition and start the vehicle, wait a few seconds with the engine running and then disconnect the starter-booster. We tidy up the carpet removed earlier and our work ends here, but let's not forget not to turn off the engine, you may need the advice of an auto electrician to replace the battery.

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.
