This guide briefly explains the steps to adjust the handbrake lever of the Renault Clio. First, get into the vehicle and remove the plastic cover of the centre console by unscrewing the Torx screw located inside the rear cup holder; this will allow access to the handbrake adjuster, where you will screw or unscrew depending on whether you want to tighten or loosen the handbrake, as shown in the video.

For the handbrake to function correctly, it is essential that the rear brake shoes are in good condition.
