Part: Hand brake
Operation: How to adjust the handbrake on the Suzuki Grand Vitara Mk2

The guide shows how to perform the handbrake adjustment of Suzuki Grand Vitara Mk2. To carry out this operation, it is necessary to remove the cup holder located between the front seats by means of the two lateral plastic blocks. At this point, remove the six fixing screws of the central pedestal; these elements are positioned on the sides of the piece, in the cup holder compartment and in the glove compartment under the armrest. At this point, with the finishing piece slightly raised, the handbrake nut can be adjusted with a 10 mm wrench. At the end of the operation, reassemble everything in place.

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.
