You don't. You get your mechanic to do it. That way you can be sure that you don't do something wrong.
its normally mechnical so find the steel cable and find the nut on the cable of the parking brake "handbrake" and tighten
Cable underneath has a nut(s) to adjust.
Assuming this is the same as a UK astra,remove the centre console and gaiter from around the handbrake lever until you see the adjuster nut.Jack up the rear so the wheels are free.Let the adjustment right off the handbrake.Press the footbrake five or six times to ensure the drums are fully adjusted,then pull the handbrake on/off five times.Same if you have rear discs.Ensure the rear wheels rotate freely.Then pull the handbrake on three clicks,adjust the cable until the rear wheels are hard to turn(not locked up).Handbrake off and ensure wheels still free.Rear wheels should be fully braked with four or five clicks.
check to see if there is a short somewhere and if that's not the case check the cables and make sure the e brakes pads/shoes are properly adjusted but if they werent properly adjusted you would know
With a screwdriver lift the black covering of the center console and remove over the handbrake. Snap back into place.
it is your run flat tyre wraning you could hav a puntcher to reset the light there isd abutton under the handbrake
hi i have problem with electric hand brake scenic 2004. the check lamp instiguish and code 182- redundant brake on switch internal electronic error don't disappeared. what can i do?
brake warning light on can mean your handbrake is engaged or that brake fuild is low. Those would be the first two easy things to check. If your brake fluid is low, you will need to keep a close eye on that, as you may have a leak and that can lead to a loss of your brakes.
Yes.

This recently happened to my 2004 vectra and it was the element in the lighter which cost £56 to have replaced at a garage
