How to Adjust Parking Brake, R-Class (w251)

would appreciate guidance on adjusting a slack parking brake cable on r500 (if different than r350)

VIN: 4 JGCB 75E 06A 034281

update: I removed the trim cover and pulled on the cable to release the brake and the cable broke.
guessing this is a two part system, with a 'top' cable meeting at a Y somewhere,
so now need upper cable change procedure, and location of Y assy for tension adjustment ...
