1. Pull the handbrake lever up to its highest position to release the tension on the cable.
2. Locate the handbrake cable adjustment mechanism, which is usually found near the rear wheels. It is a small metal cylinder with a serrated wheel or nut.
3. Use a flat-head screwdriver or a wrench to turn the serrated wheel or nut clockwise to tighten the cable. Tighten the cable until the handbrake lever can be raised to its highest position with four to five clicks.
4. Test the handbrake by releasing the lever and then pulling it up again. The handbrake should hold the vehicle firmly in place without releasing or slipping.
5. Once the handbrake is adjusted properly, make sure to secure the adjustment mechanism to prevent it from loosening over time.
6. It is recommended to consult your vehicle's specific repair manual or seek professional assistance if you are unfamiliar with the above steps to ensure a safe and accurate adjustment.
