How to adjust the handbrake of Wuling Hongguang?

First, lift the car with a jack. Behind the transmission, at the bend of the second-to-last muffler, there is an aluminum heat shield. You can adjust it by slightly prying it open, using a 10# wrench or socket. Turn clockwise to tighten, which will reduce the number of clicks when pulling, achieving the second gear. Turn counterclockwise to loosen; if it's too tight, loosen it a bit.

To adjust the handbrake of the Wuling Hongguang, as a car enthusiast, I often do this myself. First, locate the cover panel at the bottom of the driver's seat armrest and remove it to expose the adjustment nut. Use an appropriate wrench to gently tighten the nut clockwise, taking it slow and steady. After every half turn, test the handbrake tension: on level ground, the car should stay stationary when the handbrake is pulled to the 5th notch. If it's too tight, the rear brake shoes will wear out faster and increase fuel consumption; if too loose, the car may roll dangerously on slopes. After adjustment, always test the braking effect by driving, but avoid high-speed testing—only use gentle slopes for this. Regular maintenance can prevent unusual noises and extend service life. It's recommended to check the cable condition during routine servicing.
