In this video we see how to adjust the handbrake of a Citroen C3: we remove the mat from the central console, which is located in the glove compartment, right in the center of it, behind the handbrake itself. Underneath, and near the handbrake, we will find two screws to unscrew, which will allow us to remove the glove compartment, and underneath we will find the screw that will allow us to remove the plastic body around the handbrake.

We pull up the lever and lift the cover, in order to have free access to the adjustment screw, which is located on the right of the lever. We adjust it according to our needs, keeping in mind that it will be properly adjusted when the lever can be lifted by three, maximum four notches.

We put the body back in place and then put back the glove compartment with its screws. We place the mat and the job is done.

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.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
