In this tutorial, you will learn how to adjust the handbrake on a Chevrolet Cruze, a simple task to perform after replacing the rear brake pads. First, enter the cabin, then grasp the lever and operate it several times while holding down the brake pedal.

Next, remove the small glove compartment located at the back of the console, unscrew the indicated screws, and take off the rear panel. At this point, engage the handbrake lever, hold the indicated mechanism in position, and gradually release it. Repeat the process until the play in the mechanism is minimised.
