<Vehicles with rear drum-in disc brakes>
1.Pull the parking brake lever with a force of approximately 200 N (45 pounds) and count the number of notches.
Standard value: 4 - 5 notches
2.If the parking brake lever stroke is not the standard value, adjust as described below.
(1)Remove the rear console assembly.
(2)Loosen the adjusting nut to move it to the cable rod end so that the cable will be free.
(3)Remove the wheels.
(4)Complete air bleeding of brake circuit.
(5)Remove the rear wheel hub plug, and then use a flat-tipped screwdriver to turn the shoe slack adjuster in the direction of the arrow (the direction which expands the shoe) so that the disc will not rotate.
Return the shoe slack adjuster 4 notches in the direction opposite to the direction of the arrow.
(6)Turn the adjusting nut to adjust the parking brake lever stroke to the standard value. After adjusting, check that there is no space between the adjusting nut and the parking brake lever. Check that the adjusting nut is secured with the nut holder.
CAUTION:
If the parking brake lever stroke is below the standard value and the braking is too firm, the rear brakes may drag.
(7)Release the parking brake and turn the rear wheels to check that the rear brakes are not dragging.
The simpler way is to skip steps 2, 3, 4, and 5. Not better, just simpler.

Take apart your center console. Take a picture of the ebrake assembly and I'll point it out to you. There's only 1 nut that touches the ebrake cable. Tighten it and it'll tighten the ebrake, loosen it and it'll loosen the ebrake.
To take the center console out, pull the ebrake all the way up. Unscrew the two screws in the bottom of the arm rest cabin, pull upwards, grab the part of the centerconsole under the ebrake (cup holder area) pull up and it should pop up, Slide up and forward over the ebrake.
