To adjust the handbrake of the Ford Ecosport, pull the lever fully so that the internal plastic part of the handbrake is accessible. At the end of this part, there will be a bolt that needs to be loosened or tightened to adjust the handbrake's intensity: turning it counterclockwise will make the handbrake tighter and reduce its travel; conversely, turning the bolt clockwise will make the handbrake softer and increase its travel.

After adjusting it to your needs, check that the handbrake functions correctly.
