Remove your centre console box inside bit and you will find the cables with adjusters attached.

ALOT........
Do not just adjust from the cable under the centre console, this is how cables gets stretched and stuffed, you must adjust it from the rear hanbrake mechanisms themselves, refer a workshop manual that has been posted on here somewhere

no wrong, doing this will stretch the cables for starters and will not allow proper adjustment
If the parking brake lever stroke is not the standard value,
adjust as described below.
(1) Remove the inner compartment of the floor console.
(2) Loosen the parking brake cable adjusting nut to the end of the cable rod, to allow slack in the cables.
(3) Jack up the rear of the vehicle and support on jack stands and remove the rear wheels.
(4) Temporarily install the wheel nuts so that the back of the nuts contact the brake disc and hold the disc in position.
(5) Remove the brake shoe adjustment hole plug, and insert a flat blade screwdriver to turn the adjuster wheel (to expand the shoe) sufficiently to prevent the disc rotating.
(6) Rotate the adjuster wheel 5 notches in the reverse direction to allow the disc to rotate freely. Carry out this operation on both sides.
(7) Remove the temporarily installed wheel nuts and install the rear wheels.
(8) Tighten the parking brake cable adjusting nut inside the vehicle to achieve a 3-5 notch stroke of the parking brake lever at the specified lever force.
Caution
If the number of brake lever notches engaged is less
than the standard value, the cable has been over adjusted.
Be sure to adjust it to within the standard
value.
(9) After completing the adjustment, check to be sure that there is no play between the adjusting nut and the pin. Also check that the adjusting nut is securely held by the nut holder.
(10)With the parking brake lever in the released position, turn the rear wheels to confirm that the rear brakes are not dragging.
(11)Remove the jack stands and lower the vehicle to the floor. Retorque the wheel nuts to the specified torque.
