Toyota Prius - Video tutorial

Model: Toyota Prius Xw50, MK 3 - Years 2016-2023
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to open the fuel door that is locked in the Toyota Prius?

In the Toyota Prius, it can happen that the fuel door gets stuck, for example due to a malfunction in the control button or lock actuator. In these cases, it is possible to perform an emergency opening by following the simple procedure shown in this video. First, we unlock the locks using the remote control, then we open the trunk door and remove the small panel on the left wall. Next, we grasp the black element of the actuator and pull it towards the rear side of the vehicle, in order to unlock the fuel door and proceed with refueling.

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.
