This video shows how to adjust the handbrake on a Fiat Grande Punto. Using a screwdriver, remove the cover located under the armrest, disconnect the power connector, then unscrew the plastic armrest with a socket wrench.

Once the piece is removed, unscrew (with a socket wrench or screwdriver with a bit) the securing nuts of the centre tunnel under the handbrake lever. Once the handbrake lever is free, adjust it by loosening or tightening the bolts.

Finally, reassemble the cover and all associated parts, working in reverse order.
