Operation: How to know when to change the tires on your car

In this video we see how to easily realize when it's time to change the tires on our car. The first thing to do is definitely to take a look at them, visually. On the edge of the tire there is an indicator called TWI, which basically means "tire wear indicator". We identify it on the tread: when it reaches the height of the indicator, it means the tire needs to be changed. There are also tools, even very simple ones, that check the tread depth. In this case, cheaper does not mean less efficient: you can find it on Ali Express with the code 1005005131471599 for 1.89 euros, free shipping. Or you can use a one euro or two euro coin (depending on whether you are talking about summer or winter tires).

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.
