Adjusting the handbrake on the Kia Sportage 3 is a straightforward task, but for safety reasons, it is advisable to have it done by a qualified mechanic. First, remove the rear part of the central dashboard using a plastic lever; as this part is clipped in, it should not be difficult to remove.

Next, take a socket spanner and insert it into the bolt located at the centre, near the floor of the car. This will allow you to adjust the tension of the handbrake. Meanwhile, lift the handbrake to check the correct tension.
