Parking Brake System: Adjustments

Parking brake, adjusting

Notes:
^ The rear brakes are self-adjusting, so it is unnecessary to adjust the parking brake. Adjustment is only necessary if the parking brake cables, brake calipers, brake pads and brake discs are renewed.
^ The foot brake system must have been bled and must be functioning properly.
^ The parking brake Lever, the parking brake cables and the retainers must be fully installed.
