How do I adjust the handbrake in the Chevrolet Cruze?

Model: Chevrolet Cruze MK 1, J300 - Years 2009-2015
Part: Parking brake

The logic of operation of the handbrake of a car is almost identical among all models produced, and this also applies to the Chevrolet Cruze. It is essential that it has the right tension, not too much, even having the feeling of struggling when inserting it, nor too loose, as we risk not inserting it at all. Adjusting it involves removing the covering around the lever and accessing underneath, where we will find the adjustment nut on which, using a fixed or adjustable wrench, we will tighten or loosen according to our needs.
