Part: Airbags
Operation: How to deactivate the passenger airbag on a Smart Forfour

Let's see how to deactivate the passenger airbag on a Smart Forfour. Turning on the ignition, we find the icons "passenger airbag ON and OFF". In this case, the ON icon is lit. In some versions, the deactivation button is located inside the glove compartment, but in this one, it is on the outer cheek of the dashboard. We see that there is a key with the positions ON/OFF. The button/dial will be positioned on ON at this point. All we have to do is press it and simultaneously turn it to OFF. If we want to check, we just have to turn on the instrument panel and we will see that the indicator light will show "passenger airbag OFF".

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.
