Operation: How to release the electric emergency brake (EPB) in case of an emergency.

This procedure is applicable to both Hyundai and Kia cars and is used to manually release the EPB (Electric Parking Brake) function when the battery is low. It is advisable to perform this operation on a flat surface and select the "P" option on the gear lever. If possible, put a stop behind the front wheels. There is a release tool in the toolbox that must be connected to the emergency cable located in the lower part of the trunk and pulled upwards. After performing this operation, press the EPB button, and a text message is displayed on the dashboard.

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.
