Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 453 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to open the hood of the Smart ForTwo?

In this tutorial we can see how to open the hood of the Smart ForTwo, a very simple operation but different from the standard procedure, which is why it may be difficult to understand initially. First of all, stand in front of the vehicle, then locate the main grille and find the two levers placed on the side ends. Once this is done, unlock both of them, grab the hood and hook it onto the appropriate supports on the upper side of the bumper. To close it, simply lay it in the correct position and press it downwards.

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.
