This short guide will show us the instructions that will allow us to adjust the handbrake lever on the Toyota Yaris. First of all, we get into the car and start by removing the plastic cover of the central tunnel; to do this, we unscrew the fixing screws located at the back, as shown in the video.

At this point, it will be possible to access the handbrake lever adjuster, so we screw the cable adjuster to pull the cable, as shown in the video. In order for the operation to solve the problem, it is necessary for the rear brake shoes to be in good condition.

The procedure involves turning on the instrument cluster, pressing the accelerator three times, and then turning off the ignition. After this, keep the brake pressed, turn the ignition back on, and then turn it off again. Upon the next ignition, you will notice that the light has been reset.
