Operation: How to open the door even if the remote control battery is flat

It may happen that we are in a hurry and the remote control of our car has a flat battery. We just don't have the possibility to go and look for a tobacconist to find the battery, nor the time to change it. In the video we talk about a Volkswagen group car, but in principle almost all of them work like this: on the driver's door, the handle is made up of two pieces, where the smaller part is a plastic cover. Underneath there is a small slot, where we can insert something (even the key itself) that has leverage, in order to remove it. Underneath there is a classic mouse cylinder, where we can insert the key and open. This is also valid for those who have a keyless key, because a physical key is hidden inside the remote control, which is used for this. To start it, just pull the remote control to the steering column and the car will start anyway.

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.
