Volkswagen Polo - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK V, MK 5, Polo V, Polo 5, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Airbags
Operation: How to deactivate the passenger airbag on a Volkswagen Polo/Gol.

In this video, we see how to deactivate the passenger airbag on a Volkswagen Polo (or a Gol, the procedure is the same). This may be necessary if we need to transport a small child, who needs to be seated in the front seat, but without the airbag - and remember that the child seat must always be installed rear-facing - which could harm, rather than protect, a very small child. On the passenger side, within the thickness of the dashboard, we find a sort of lock with the inscription "airbag on/off". It must be on "on" and by turning the ignition key, we move it to "off". At the same time, the warning light on the dashboard will notify us of this change by signaling it in orange. Remember to perform the reverse operation when the child gets out of the car.

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.
