Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Airbags
Operation: How do you remove the steering wheel airbag from the Smart 451?

The removal of the steering wheel airbag on the Smart 451 can be done by disconnecting the plastic covers located at the bottom of the steering column: in this way, it will be possible to disconnect the underlying connectors and also unscrew the screws at the back of the steering wheel. This will allow the steering wheel to be completely removed from the column, so that the screws fixing the rear plastic panel can be unscrewed: by removing this panel, the additional screws underneath that secure the airbag can be loosened. Finally, the airbag will be disconnected from the center of the steering wheel and a new one will be connected and fixed in place.

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.
