You can adjust the tension on the emergency brake cable at the base of the handle (behind the rubber flaps in the arm rest) where the emergency cable attaches to the bottom of the handle lever. You'll need a small rachet, extension, and metric socket set to tighten up the slack on the cable. Ideally the car should be held secure after 4-6 clicks of the racheting mechanism.
