Adjusting the parking brake cable is a task performed manually from inside the cabin since the adjuster is located along the cable, just below the gear lever. To access this adjuster, you must remove the driver's seat and then take off the side cover of the tunnel.

This way, you can easily reach and identify the parking brake cable and the aluminum adjustment nut located along the cable sheath. You can then perform the adjustment to compensate for the wear of the brake shoes.

Obviously, do not access.
