First we unhook the front hood. We now proceed to unhook the power connectors. Now we unscrew the screws that are in front of us, both in the central and lateral parts. We can then proceed to remove the plastic cover, releasing the cables from their compartments. Now we unscrew the screws located under the front bumper. Finally, we proceed to remove the front hook and then we can finally unhook the bumper from the bodywork. It remains to unscrew the bolts located in the lower part of the car.

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.
