Part: Gearbox
Operation: How to correctly use the low gears on the Suzuki Jimny

Let's see how to correctly use the low gears on the Suzuki Jimny: Suzuki declares that you can switch to low gears even when moving, but the youtuber advises not to do it, rightly so, because the gears continue to turn. Instead, it is advisable to stop and do this operation. Put the gearbox in neutral, squeeze the clutch and put the 4x4. He advises you to reverse for a very short distance and then set off and go: this is used to align the gears, in fact if you start directly the gears may not be perfectly aligned and cause problems. Same operation to go to the redoubts. Still in neutral, clutch depressed, we engage the low gears, reverse for a meter and then set off. To remove we go back to neutral, we first switch to 4x4, we hear the "beep" sound, then we switch to normal gears. We also reverse for a very short distance to align the gears, and we can set 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.
