Handbrake Brake Cable: Adjustments
Handbrake cable adjustment linkage is located on the underside of floor panel.
NOTE: Handbrake calipers automatically adjust themselves. Generally, the only reason to adjust the cable would be after replacing it or if it has
stretched. If the handbrake does not work properly, the possibility of a stuck caliper adjuster or other problem, is likely.

pads can drag and the calipers will not adjust.
