To adjust the handbrake on a Volkswagen Touran, open the ashtray compartment located at the rear of the centre console: once opened, you can completely remove it by prying it out and locate the underlying bolt that allows you to adjust the handbrake.

Tightening this bolt will make the handbrake lever heavier and reduce its travel; conversely, loosening the bolt will increase the travel and make the lever lighter.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins.
