Operation: What to do when the remote control doesn't work

In this video we can see how to behave if the remote control of our car suddenly stops working. The most likely thing in this case is that the battery is empty, and it is a good idea to keep a spare battery on hand to be able to change it if necessary. We disassemble the key, checking that all the buttons are in place and intact, since the remote control is often jostled. Keep in mind that there is always an emergency key in the remote control that allows you to open the driver's door, which has a real lock hidden in the narrow part of the handle. Furthermore, the remote control works to start the car even if it is low on battery: every car has a specific place to insert it so that it can be recognized even with a low battery, usually near the steering column.

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.
