In this guide, adjust the handbrake on a Volkswagen Golf 4. Use a screwdriver to remove the cover located at the back of the armrest; disconnect the power connector, then use a socket spanner to unscrew the plastic armrest. Once removed, unscrew the securing nuts of the central tunnel under the handbrake lever using a socket spanner or screwdriver with a bit. When the handbrake lever is free, adjust it by loosening or tightening the pins.

Finally, refit the cover and all associated parts in reverse order.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
