Check





Press the parking brake pedal (A) with 294 N (30 kgf, 66 ft. lbs.) of force. The parking brake pedal should travel within the specified number of clicks (B).
Pedal locked clicks: 2 - 4
If the number of clicks is excessive, adjust the parking brake pedal.
Minor adjustment (1 - 2 clicks) of the parking brake pedal can be made with the adjusting nut in the parking brake pedal.
If a larger adjustment is required, do the major adjustment procedure using the adjuster at the parking brake drum.
