How to adjust the handbrake lever of the Kia Cee D

Model: Kia Cee D MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Parking brake

In this guide we will see the main instructions on how to adjust the handbrake lever of the Kia Cee D. First of all, we get on board the cockpit and start raising the armrest, thus accessing the glove compartment; we remove the plastic cover located at the base to access the adjustment register of the parking brake lever, as shown in the video. The success of the operation occurs only if the rear brake pads are in good condition; we then tighten the nut of the register with a wrench, pulling the cable to reduce the travel of the lever!
