How to adjust the handbrake on a Kia KX3 AWD?
Handbrake Adjustment. Took the KX3 AWD in today for its 2 year service. As an afterthought, and as the vehicle would be on the ramp, I asked if they could take a bit of slack out of the handbrake cable. Thinking that there may well be an adjuster nut on the cable/s close to the handbrake under the car.
Where do I find the handbrake adjustment cable?
Open lid, remove all your bits and bobs and access panel is at the front of the box. Small flat blade at top and panel will come out for access. As regards handbrake adjustment cables have always stretched and need some slack taking out of them. Agreed the proper adjustment should be at the disc end before looking at the cable.
