Part: Particulate filter
Operation: How to regenerate a car's particulate filter

The regeneration of the particulate filter is activated automatically when the vehicle is used for 10/15 consecutive hours or has traveled 500 consecutive kilometers. In this way, the appropriate temperature is reached and the control unit starts this process. If the automatic regeneration does not work, you can try forced regeneration. Forced regeneration is done by increasing the engine speed to 3000 RPM for 10-12 minutes. A professional additive is added and the regeneration should start. When regeneration is not performed, engine damage and premature filter replacement are at risk.

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.
