Volvo S40 - Video tutorial

Model: Volvo S40 MK 1 - Years 1995-2004
Part: Central tunnel
Operation: Disassembly of the central tunnel push-button panel

On the central tunnel, immediately behind the gear lever, near the handbrake, there is the window control panel: to be able to disassemble it, it is not necessary to remove all the tunnel lining, but just unhook the gear lever gaiter and press from below on the stops of the push-button panel itself. Once the push-button panel has been extracted, it is sufficient to unhook the relative sockets to complete the disassembly. It is therefore an extremely simple operation, which does not require any particular tools, much less particular technical skills: just a little manual skills are enough.

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.
