Driving in reverse with the brakes on (backing out of the driveway, ect...)should automatically adjust the ebrake.

That only adjusts the brake shoes, doesn't account for slack in the cable up front which is what some people had.

Always adjust the brakes first at the rear wheel before you adjust the cable at the center console.
