The handbrake is used to stop a stationary car rolling downhill. The transmission can also stop a car from moving when parked.
Stop the car in a safe place at night. Put the car into neutral and apply the handbrake. Switch on the headlights. Get out of the car and look to see that the headlights are working.
To adjust the handbrake on a 1997 Ford Mondeo, first, ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the wheels are chocked. Locate the handbrake lever inside the car and pull it up to its maximum position. Underneath the vehicle, you can find the handbrake cable adjuster near the rear brakes; tighten it until the handbrake feels firm and holds the vehicle securely when engaged. Finally, lower the handbrake lever and test its effectiveness before driving.

I have been given a courtesy car but I am having problems taking off the handbrake. It is an 02 car. What can I do?
Because you probably still have your handbrake on. If not, than you need to see the car-doctor.
I have the same car. I just realize it has a automatic handbrake when shift the gear to park
First make sure the the rear brakes are correctly adjusted. Next thing is to make sure the front wheels are choked so that the car does not roll during adjustment. Now release the handbrake. Next to the handbrake you will see two nuts on a threaded shaft. The bottom one is used for adjusting the handbrake whilst the top one is just a lock nut to stop the bottom nut from working loose. You will need to loosen the top nut and then turn the bottom nut to adjust the handbrake. The handbrake should be adjusted so that it holds the car when clicked 4-7 times.
To adjust the handbrake on a Citroën Xantia, first, ensure the car is on a flat surface and securely lift it using a jack. Remove the rear wheel and access the brake mechanism. Adjust the handbrake cable tension by turning the adjusting nut located near the rear of the handbrake lever until the desired tension is achieved, making sure the handbrake holds the car when engaged. Finally, test the handbrake by lowering the car and ensuring it holds securely on a slope.
