Guide to adjusting the handbrake of the Chevrolet Captiva

Model: Chevrolet Captiva MK 1 - Years 2006-2018
Part: Parking brake

In this guide, we will see the steps that will allow us to adjust the handbrake lever of the Chevrolet Captiva. First of all, we get on board the car and start by accessing the glove compartment located under the armrest; we remove the small plastic cover to access the cable adjustment register of the handbrake lever, as shown in the video. In order for the handbrake to work correctly, it is necessary for the rear braking system to be in good condition; therefore, we screw the register screw to tighten the cable, checking the operation of the handbrake!
