If the handbrake travel has significantly increased, meaning you can count 7 to 10 clicks, then it needs adjusting; the cause can be attributed to cable stretching or gradual wear of the shoes; the adjustment is done manually from inside the cabin; the adjuster is located at the rear of the centre tunnel, and to access it, you must remove the armrest; once you reach the adjuster nut, release the handbrake and adjust the nut until the total handbrake travel is 4 to 5 clicks.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
