A Haynes manual has the procedure in it.
But it's not difficult.
You need to remove enough of the center console to access a couple nuts next to the lever. Remove the little panel next the lever and you can probably see them. One is the adjustment for the cable, the other is the locknut. You can only adjust it so much; apparently there's a point where the cable needs to be replaced. You want 7 or 8 clicks when applying the ebrake.

Make the adjustment at the parking brake.
There's a little screw adjuster you turn.

It's pretty much just like adjusting drum brakes.
