Toyota Rav 4 - Video tutorial

Model: Toyota Rav 4 Xa30, MK 3 - Years 2006-2013
Part: Door
Operation: How to unlock the rear door of the Toyota Rav 4

In the event that the rear door of the Toyota Rav 4 cannot be opened, it is necessary to enter the passenger compartment. The first thing to do is to remove the plastic protection, fixed by means of clips, placed at the top, in the bodywork, near the upper part of the tailgate. In addition, we proceed to remove the internal panel of the tailgate itself. On the right side of the tailgate, still inside the passenger compartment, we find the closing mechanism of the tailgate itself. After verifying that the lock does not allow opening, we must rotate the small white component that is in the innermost part of the lock (the black one. We see all the details in the images on the video) counterclockwise. At this point the mechanism is unlocked and the tailgate can be opened.

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.
