To adjust the handbrake, follow these steps: access the cabin from the driver's side. The adjustment cable for the handbrake is located under the mat and beneath the floor on the driver's side, closest to the dashboard.

You need to lift the mat and the floor in that area. Underneath, you will find the screw that allows you to adjust the tension.

Specifically, to tighten the handbrake, turn the screw to the left; to loosen it, turn it to the right. Finally, reposition the floor and the mat.
