    I'm going to assume you know how to remove the cover thingy, once you get that off its pretty straight forward
    theres a bar with a cable in the middle connected to the ebrake handle and two cables on either side. The cable in the middle has a bolt on it or something like that, thats the one you need to tighten, the ebrake should be fully engaged in 7-8 clicks

    he means under the center console towards the back seat there is an adjusting nut in between the cables where they meet the handle assembly. i dont remember the size but just use that to tighten it

    You can find the procedure for adjusting the Parking Brake lever on page 19-7 of the Helms manual.

    If you don't have one, you can download it here (18.73MB):

    Be careful not to overtighten it, it would burn out your rear brake pads
