You can adjust the handbrake on the Mercedes E-Class by lifting the car and placing the jack under the left rear wheel: this wheel can be removed from its housing by loosening the screws that hold it and accessing the brake disc at the back. The disc can be removed to locate the bolt that controls the handbrake tension: tightening this bolt will make the handbrake tighter.

After the adjustment, reinstall all the parts that were removed.
