Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 453 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Airbags
Operation: How to deactivate the airbag in a Smart

Deactivating the airbag in a car is a procedure to be carried out only in certain specific situations, such as the insertion of a child seat, for example. The airbag deactivation system may vary depending on the year of construction of your Smart, but generally the device remains close enough. First of all you have to find the button or a key lock with the airbag symbol inside your Smart. It is usually found near the glove box on the passenger side or to the left of the steering wheel. In the case of the button, just press OFF, otherwise just insert the car key and go around a notch.

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.
