Operation: How to adjust the handbrake of the Chevrolet Matiz

In this video tutorial we will see how to adjust the handbrake of a Chevrolet Matiz. First of all we get inside the car and we go to disassemble the plastic of the central tunnel, in order to access the adjustment cables of our parking brake; then we remove the central screw that we find on the back and remove the cover. Let's go to adjust our cables, going to act on the registers; if our handbrake is slow, we go to tighten by pulling the cables with a wrench as shown in the video. Then do various tests until our handbrake works correctly!

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.
