That looks like your handbrake cable - if it is you have another one on the opposite brake caliper.

To loosen the cable, you have to get into the centre consol between the seats & just behind the handbrake lever there is the cable adjuster.

If you need it to come apart and you have the Bentley manual its under "brakes mechanical" IIRC or try this.....
