How to Adjust the Handbrake on Volvo 960?

Model: Volvo Volvo Various
Part: Parking brake

Video tutorial

You can adjust the handbrake on the Volvo 960 by opening the ashtray located in the lower rear part of the central armrest: once opened, you can lever inside its housing to completely detach the panel from the rear of the armrest. Under this panel, there will be a nut that needs to be adjusted to modify the handbrake's intensity: tightening the nut will reduce the lever's travel and the handbrake will be heavier; conversely, loosening the nut will allow for greater lever travel and the handbrake will be lighter.
