Handbrake emergency brake while driving

Welcome to 2CarPros.

First, this model isn't offered in the US, but I will try to help.

The hand brake and ABS are two separate components. The hand / parking brake is an adjustable component. On most vehicles, the adjustment is done at the brake lever. However, the actual parking brake shoes may require adjustment as well.

Since this vehicle is very similar to the Hyundai Elantra, which is offered in the US, I will provide the directions for adjustment which should be very similar.

4. Release the parking brake lever fully, and check that parking brakes do not drag when the rear wheels are turned. Readjust if necessary.
5. Make sure that the parking brakes are fully applied when the parking brake lever is pulled up fully.
6. Install the floor console.
