How to Adjust the Handbrake on a Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Parking brake

Before you begin, sit in the driver’s seat of your Fiat Panda. Start by removing the covers inside the cup holder and a cover located just in front of the handbrake lever. This will expose three bolts securing the handbrake cover. Proceed to unscrew and remove these three bolts, then remove the cover itself and disconnect the cigarette lighter connector. This will give you access to the handbrake adjustment screw, which you can adjust. Once you have adjusted the handbrake, you will be finished.
