if you look at your clutch pedal, about half way up it there should be a white knob on it. undo that, what for it to take up tension then tighten.

Unl;ess you have auto adjust which is a little more difficult

just noticed your's is an auto
Apparently you can manipulate these to adjust when you want them to.
On the ratchet and Pawl system within the pedal, if you press the Pawl part so that it releases from ratchet and set it up from there.
Not 100% on that though, i just changed mine to manual adjust

Get yourself a ratchet kit, they wear out after a while, especially the spring; this is noticeable when the biting point is all the way at the floor and it is also sometimes difficult to engage gears.
The spring on the auto adjust ratchet wears out after around 100k.
