Operation: How to adjust handbrake in Volvo XC90?

In this tutorial we can see how to adjust the handbrake in Volvo XC90, a very simple operation. First of all, position ourselves on the rear sofa, then remove the final part of the central tunnel by operating the lever located in the lower slot. We then disengage the panel indicated with the help of a plastic spatula, unscrew the screws indicated, disassemble the entire tunnel and locate the regulator located on the left side. At this point we will have to activate the handbrake, keep the mechanism blocked and vary the length of the cable by unscrewing or screwing the regulator.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
