It should be in your car manual.

Owner's manual won't have e-brake adjustment.

There are two places to adjust it. You can adjust the cable where it connects to the handle under the center console. You can adjust the brake pads themselves by either pulling the rear rotors off (easy way) or through the little hole in the rear rotor (hard way).

What year is your car , 05 and older can be adjusted easily by pulling the coin tray.

Pull the coin tray , get a 10 or 12mm deep socket on an extention , next look in the coin tray hole and lift ebrake slowly. You will see a nut attached to the ebrake, tighten that nut till you get the required firmness.
