2010 E550 RWD: How to adjust the parking brake?

Hi,

I noticed my parking brake doesn't hold the car even when pushed all the way down, in fact it barely grips. Can somebody point me to a procedure on how to adjust the parking brake on a 2010 E550 RWD?

I looked around and only found procedures that pointed to an adjuster underneath the back seat and (for older Mercedes models) inside the rear brake. Any help is very much appreciated. Not sure if either one applies to my car and I don't want to mess with the rear seat if I don't have to.

In general, I wonder if there are any repair manuals available for these newer Mercedes models, since I don't intent to bother with going to a repair shop every time a problem arises.

Thanks in advance!
