I don't know on yours, but try looking under the car at the parking brake cable, there might be a nut you can turn to take up the slack.

now i need some help. i took the wheel off today and found that its the same way you adjust the parking brake on drums, it has a little hole in the back to stick a flathead in and turn a little geared wheel nut thing. well i turned all the way one way and grabbed barely, only when it spun around to a certain spot, but then i turned it all the way the other way and the grabbed the same way. now i cant get to ungrab. so im driving around with the parking brake grabbing everytime the wheel spins around.
