Hyundai Atos - Video tutorial

Model: Hyundai Atos MK 1 - Years 1997-2008
Part: Hand brake
Operation: How do you adjust the handbrake of the Hyundai Atos?

In order to adjust the handbrake of the Hyundai Atos, you need to loosen the screws that secure the plastic cover on the back of the lever, so that it can be removed. Once this cover has been removed, you will be able to locate the underlying handbrake wiring, which needs to be adjusted by adjusting the bolt. If the bolt is tightened, the handbrake becomes harder and its travel is reduced; conversely, if the bolt is loosened, the handbrake becomes lighter and its travel increases. After adjusting, you can cover everything with the previously removed panel.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
