Operation: How do you reset the Volvo V50 service light?

The Service warning light on the Volvo V50 is reset by holding down the button located on the right-hand side of the instrument panel: the button must be held down while the ignition is off. Then insert the key and turn on the ignition, continuing to hold down the corresponding button: a flashing "i" will appear in the central part of the display. After the icon has flashed three times, the button can be released, switching off the instrument panel; after it is turned on again, it will be possible to verify that the Service warning light has been correctly reset.

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.
