How to adjust the handbrake lever of the Kia Carens

Model: Kia Carens MK 3 - Years 2013-2019
Part: Parking brake

In this guide we will see the instructions that will allow us to adjust the handbrake lever of the Kia Carens. First of all, we get on board the car and start by opening the central glove compartment, thus accessing the adjustment screw of the handbrake lever; it is essential, however, that the rear brake pads are in good condition, ensuring the correct operation of the parking brake. Then we screw the adjusting nut to pull the handbrake cable, thus reducing the travel of the lever; make sure it is functioning correctly!
