Toyota Prius - Video tutorial

Model: Toyota Prius Xw30, MK 2 - Years 2009-2015
Part: Battery
Operation: I will change the starter battery of the Toyota Prius MK2.

In this video we can see how to change the battery of the Toyota Prius MK2; first of all, the battery is not located in the front hood but in the rear, in a compartment on the left wheel arch. We will need to remove the plastic cover and then also remove the safety bracket that holds it anchored to the metal floor; these are 10 mm bolts; then disconnect the negative pole and then the positive one which is under the red plastic cover; at this point we grab it by the handle and pull it up. Clean the housing well and place the new battery in its place. Reconnect the positive pole first, then the negative one and then put the safety bracket back in place. We can also put the plastic cover back in place: our job is done.

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.
