Mazda 3 - Video tutorial

Model: Mazda 3 MK 3, BN, BM - Years 2013-2019
Part: Hand brake
Operation: How to adjust the handbrake in the Mazda 3?

In this tutorial we can see how to adjust the handbrake in the Mazda 3, an extremely simple and quick operation. First of all, we park the vehicle on a flat surface with the first gear engaged, then we release the handbrake and open the glove compartment located under the central armrest. We then unhook the console from the tunnel, locate the adjustment nut, and, using a 10mm socket wrench, tighten it until reaching the desired tension level. Finally, we put everything back together and test the adjustment on a suitable road.

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.
