Smart Forfour - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Forfour W453, MK 2 - Years 2014-2021
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: Where is the tire repair kit located in the Smart Forfour?

On the Smart Forfour, there is no spare wheel, but there is a kit that allows you to repair a puncture immediately from the tire: thanks to this temporary repair, it will be possible to go to the nearest tire shop to replace the damaged tire. The kit is located inside the cabin: to reach it, you will need to move the floor mat that is located in the footrest compartment on the passenger side and access the two screws underneath. By loosening these screws, you can free the panel on which the tire repair kit is mounted, which can now be used.

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.
