In the Dacia Sandero, how do you adjust the handbrake?

Model: Dacia Sandero BS - Years 2008-2012
Part: Parking brake

What the video here shows is not only valid for the Dacia Sandero, but for all Dacia branded cars and beyond. The handbrake lever, as we all know, acts on the cable that operates the brakes and if the latter is not well pulled, we risk not properly engaging the braking device. There is a solution to this and it is not even complex to implement, simply equip yourself with a socket wrench, remove the cover at the base of the aforementioned lever and screw the cable adjustment nut, if you want it tighter, otherwise it should be unscrewed to make it looser.
