Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 453 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Instrument cluster
Operation: How the Smart media system works on the Smart Fortwo

Let's see how the media system works on the Smart Fortwo: the 7 "screen is capacitive and therefore very sensitive to touch and on the home screen there are 6 main menus. However, the icons are sometimes a bit small to be centered at the first touch. Voice commands are an alternative but they are not always at the top, because it has not always been possible to set an address on the navigator while the car is moving, or it has not been possible to make a phone call from the handsfree. USB port and an AUX-in and of course a 12 Volts socket. The Smart media System on almost the entire range is a paid option, which also includes automatic climate control. Alternatively there is the possibility of using the system via cable with mirroring, but you have to be careful because not all Smartphones are compatible.In case there is the possibility to use the SmartCrossConnect app which is free and which has many useful functions.

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.
