The tailgate release cable for the Ford EcoSport is located underneath the trunk. Here are solutions if the trunk won't open: Press the button: Press the trunk release button on the remote for three seconds. Unlock button: With the doors unlocked, press the button next to the high-mounted stop lamp. The trunk can be opened or closed electrically or via remote. To open the trunk, simply press the button inside the car or on the remote key, and the trunk will open automatically. To close the trunk, press the close button inside the trunk, the close button inside the car, or the remote key, and the trunk will close automatically.

I've been into DIY car repairs for years. The Ford EcoSport trunk release cable is usually located under the inner panel on the driver's side, near the floor area. Squat down and look carefully, you'll find a small plastic cover. Lift it to reveal the cable handle. I regularly clean that area myself, as dust buildup can easily cause the cable to jam. If unsure, don't fumble around blindly - just check the owner's manual which contains illustrated locations. Also, I recommend regularly lubricating the cable hinge section, perhaps with a small amount of sewing machine oil spray, to ensure smooth emergency manual operation. Knowing this location is crucial when electronic systems fail, preventing you from being stuck with an unopenable trunk. The position is somewhat hidden, but becomes super convenient once familiar - I now use it more smoothly than the remote.

What is the appropriate level to fill the coolant to?

The coolant should be filled to the middle position between the upper (MAX) and lower (MIN) marks on the reservoir. The method for replacing the coolant is as follows: Before completely replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a particular focus on the five-way hose. The coolant flows through the five-way hose and is then distributed to different parts of the car to function. If there is any leakage of coolant in this part, the hose should be replaced or the connection re-secured as necessary. Drain the old coolant and then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the coolant reservoir and continue to fill the reservoir with water until clean water flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Then, start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. The water initially flowing out of the reservoir may have a faint pink color. Continue adding clean water until the water flowing out is clear. Note: Do not forget to remove the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. Approximately 1 hour after draining, add the new coolant through the radiator hose. Then, add another container of coolant to the coolant reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. During this time, the coolant level will drop slightly as air is expelled from the cooling system. Add more coolant until the level reaches the "MAX" mark on the reservoir.

What documents are required for a car's six-year inspection?

You need to bring the original vehicle registration certificate, the original copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, the vehicle and vessel tax certificate, and the original ID card. Additionally, please note the following: Advance Appointment: Some regions offer an appointment function. If you cannot make an appointment in advance, you may face difficulties in processing the service. Making an appointment also allows you to stay updated on the latest policy changes, so you can prepare in advance if there are special circumstances or new policies to follow. Time Selection: When handling the service at the relevant vehicle management department, you must adhere to working days. Services cannot be processed on national statutory holidays such as New Year's Day and Mid-Autumn Festival.

What to Do If the Baojun 730 Consumes Too Much Fuel?

It is recommended to regularly inspect and maintain the vehicle, and clean or replace the three filters (air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter). Below are detailed explanations of the reasons why a vehicle may consume increasing amounts of fuel and their corresponding solutions: 1. Increasing carbon deposits in the engine: Carbon deposits are produced due to incomplete combustion of fuel. They can accumulate not only in the engine but also in the intake manifold, intake valves, and throttle body. Solution: Perform cleaning of carbon deposits in the cylinders and intake system. 2. Decreased efficiency of spark plugs and ignition coils: This can lead to insufficient engine power and increased fuel consumption. Solution: Replace the spark plugs and ignition coils. 3. Carbon deposits on the fuel injectors: Carbon deposits on the injectors can cause incomplete fuel atomization, preventing proper mixing of fuel and air, resulting in reduced vehicle power and increased fuel consumption. Solution: Clean the fuel injectors.

Should You Press the Clutch or Brake When Reversing?

When reversing, you should press both the clutch and brake. Below is the sequence of operations when reversing: 1. When the speed is relatively high: Brake first, then clutch. Pressing the brake pedal engages both the braking system and the deceleration system. When the engine speed drops to idle, press the clutch to downshift. This prevents the engine from stalling. Pressing the clutch disengages the engine from the transmission system, effectively putting the car in neutral and allowing it to slow down by inertia, which is very slow and insufficient for rapid deceleration at high speeds. 2. When the speed is relatively low: You can directly press the clutch. If the speed is low, such as in 1st or 2nd gear, pressing the clutch for braking is also acceptable. 3. For slight deceleration: Simply easing off the accelerator may suffice. For instance, when approaching a traffic light or if the brake lights of the car ahead come on, sometimes just easing off the accelerator can slow the car down. If it is confirmed safe to proceed, neither the brake nor the clutch needs to be pressed.

What items are generally included in a minor maintenance service?

A minor maintenance service typically includes engine oil and the three filters (oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter), brake fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, and spark plugs. Interval for minor maintenance: The timing of a minor maintenance service depends on the effective duration or mileage of the engine oil and oil filter used. The validity periods of mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full-synthetic oil vary by brand and grade. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Oil filters generally come in two types: standard and long-life. Standard oil filters are replaced along with the oil, while long-life oil filters have a longer service life. Precautions for car maintenance: 1. Engine maintenance: The car engine should be cleaned at appropriate intervals. Prolonged use can lead to a thick layer of carbon deposits on the engine surface, which can significantly corrode the rubber components inside the engine. 2. Prevent evaporation of gasoline and water: In summer, temperatures are generally higher, making gasoline and water more prone to evaporation than usual. Therefore, regularly check the radiator and fuel tank, and top them up promptly when levels are low. 3. Maintain interior hygiene: Summer is the season when bacteria multiply the fastest. Keep the car interior clean, especially items like car seat covers, steering wheel covers, and floor mats that are prone to getting dirty. 4. Replace windshield wipers: When driving in the rain, always ensure the wipers are in good condition. Over time, the rubber blades on older wipers can deteriorate. For better visibility during rainy drives, it's best to replace the windshield wipers every one to two years.
