How to Adjust the Handbrake on a Suzuki Grand Vitara

Model: Suzuki Grand Vitara MK 1 - Years 1999-2005
Part: Parking brake

This video explains how to adjust the handbrake on a Suzuki Grand Vitara. First, use a sharp object to start removing the plastic cover of the gear lever to access the screws that need to be unscrewed to reach the handbrake. Then, using a screwdriver, unscrew the front screws, the rear ones (if necessary, move the seats), and those located inside the central armrest. Once all screws are removed, take off the plastic cover of the handbrake, loosen the screw on the handbrake mechanism, which will allow you to choose the angle, and tighten the screw again once you have set it. Finally, reassemble the plastic covers.
