Adjusting E-brake on S5...

I'm having problems adjusting my E-brake on my S5. I cannot see any adjustment screw at the base of the E-brake handle where it say's in the service manual. Can anyone help me out?

Thank-you

I think its shaped like a hex wrench with a flat blade key on the top.

Should be on the handle somewhere.

look between the black plastic cover of the e-brake at the base of it and the center console where the power mirror adjustment switch, and AAS switch is located and you should see the adjustment screw that 1987RX7guy described. If you still cannot locate the ajustment screw try removing the console between the seats so you can see if the adjustment screw mechanism has been messed with. On the passanger side of the e-brake is a almost half moon "track" that the brake cable is supposed to be sitting in with the adjusting nut and clip on top. PM me if you need further assistance.
