Volvo S40 - Video tutorial

Model: Volvo S40 MK 1 - Years 1995-2004
Part: Dashboard
Operation: Cigarette lighter replacement instructions

The ash tray and cigar lighter are located in the lower part of the center console, just in front of the gear lever; start by unhooking and removing the storage pocket located immediately above the ash tray in order to access the two fixing screws of the ash tray itself; then open the door of the ash-laying compartment, extract the internal container and then all the support and then disconnect the sockets; at this point it is possible to release the safety catch that secures the cigar lighter and extract it from its seat in order to apply the new one; we will then proceed backwards to reassemble everything.

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.
