How to Adjust the Handbrake on a Kia Picanto

Model: Kia Picanto 2A, MK 1 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Parking brake

In this video, you will learn how to adjust the handbrake on a 2009 Kia Picanto. First, ensure the vehicle is parked correctly on a flat surface. A properly adjusted handbrake should not have more than three clicks when fully pulled. To access the adjustment screw, remove the base located in the rear cup holder: underneath, you will find the nut that allows you to adjust the tension. Release the handbrake, and using a 12 mm ratchet spanner, tighten it to reduce the amount of travel the lever has to make. You may need to make several attempts to achieve the desired result.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
