How do you adjust the handbrake in the Nissan Qashqai J10?

Model: Nissan Qashqai J10 - Years 2006-2014
Part: Parking brake

Adjusting the handbrake cable tension, both for the Nissan Qashqai and for many other car models, is a simple task and can be done even by those who are not very skilled, especially with the help of this video complete with verbal description. After engaging the handbrake, making it go through all nine clicks, we remove the cup holder compartment next to it and use a 10mm wrench to adjust the tension by directly manipulating the adjusting nut. By making small turns, either tightening or loosening, we reach the perfect position.
