Post How do you adjust the parking brake?

My parking brake must be really off because the parking brake light will come on even when it is all the way down, and I have to raise it up and down a few times to get it to go off. The manual says I need to take it to the dealer.....anyone know how to fix this?

Default parking brake

surprised nobody gave you help

check the parking brake clearances (rear wheel) like the old style cars with drum brakes

then chek the brake handle 5 to 8 clicks

if it's off, pull the cup holder and you should be able to see the way the
lever is adjusted - a couple of nuts to turn.

hope you can figure it out
