Let's see in this video how to adjust the handbrake of a Ford Focus MK3: first, we need to remove the handbrake cover, which comes off easily with the help of a plastic spatula, as it is only held in place by pressure. To make the job easier, it's advisable to push the driver's seat all the way back to have enough space.

Now that the mechanism is exposed, we notice a screw located on the right side of the handbrake lever, and it is from there that we will adjust the tension of the lever using a 13mm wrench and an extension. The correct adjustment is three to four clicks at most, so we adjust accordingly.

Once it's in place, we put the boot back, pressing on the clips to secure it, and we're done.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
