Operation: How do you deactivate the immobilizer of the Volvo V50?

To deactivate the immobilizer of the Volvo V50, you need to connect a scanner to the OBD port of the vehicle. This port is located in the lower left part of the dashboard, next to the steering column. Once the scanner is connected, you can select the specific model of the car and its corresponding version. By doing this, you will be able to deactivate the immobilizer and finally disconnect the scanner. After this operation, you will need to insert the ignition key into the ignition switch to verify that everything is functioning correctly.

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.
