Part: Parking brake

In this video, learn how to adjust the handbrake on a Volkswagen Lupo. Use a screwdriver to remove the cover of the central tunnel located under the handbrake lever, then remove it from the cabin.

Once the handbrake plate is free, adjust the handbrake grip by loosening or tightening the pins as shown in the video.
