Parking Brake System: Adjustments

NOTE: After rear brake caliper servicing, loosen the parking brake adjusting nut, start the engine, and depress the brake pedal several times to set the self-adjusting brakes before adjusting the parking brake.





1. Remove the console mat, the four screws and the console box.
2. Block the front wheels, then raise the rear wheels off the ground.
3. Make sure the lever of the rear brake caliper contacts the brake caliper pin.
4. Pull the parking brake lever up one notch.
5. Tighten the adjusting nut until the rear brakes drag slightly when turned.
6. Release the parking lever, and check that the rear brakes do not drag when turned. Readjust if necessary.





7. With the equalizer properly adjusted, the rear brakes should be fully applied when the parking lever is pulled up 10 to 14 clicks.
