How to adjust the handbrake lever of the Volvo C70

Model: Volvo C70 MK 2 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Checks and maintenance

Following these brief and simple steps, we will see how to adjust the handbrake lever of the Volvo C70. First, we get into the car and start by opening the armrest and removing the small cap inside, accessing the adjustment screw of the handbrake lever; we then use a 13mm socket wrench to adjust the travel, as shown in the video. At this point, we screw the screw to tighten the cable, consequently reducing the handbrake travel (remember that the rear brake pads must be in good condition).
