If it's the same as on a classic, which it almost certainly is, it's under the arm-rest cubby box, at the base of the lever. Remove the two screws at the FRONT of the cubby box after lifting the lid, and lift and pull free the trim panel from round the handbrake to the gear lever surround: it clips at the front.

Then you can see the handbrake base and any wiring.
