Toyota Prius - Video tutorial

Model: Toyota Prius Xw30, MK 2 - Years 2009-2015
Part: Battery
Operation: Where is the 12V battery located in the Toyota Prius?

In this video we can see where the battery is located in the Toyota Prius and how to proceed in case we need to replace it, an extremely simple and quick operation. As shown, the battery is not located in the classic engine compartment but inside the trunk, in the lower right area. To access it and then remove it, make sure first of all that the key is not inserted, then open the tailgate and remove the bottom panel. Next, unscrew both the bolt and the nut of the fixing bracket with a 10mm wrench, disconnect the terminals starting from the negative one, and remove the battery from the housing.

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.
