Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Door panel
Operation: How do you remove the door panel of the Smart 451?

The procedure for removing the door panel on the Smart 451 involves first removing the outer panel of the door: this will allow access to the clips underneath that secure the panel from the outside. These clips must be unclipped in order to detach the bottom part of the inner panel; you can now proceed by levering with an object and detaching the handrail trim, so that the underlying screws can be loosened. After removing these screws, you can proceed by detaching the panel so that it can be replaced with a new one.

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.
