General Description

The parking brake pedal assembly, located on the dash panel left of the service brake pedal, is a mechanism which must be pumped once to set. One full stroke of the pedal is required to fully apply the parking brake. Applying the parking brake places the parking brake cables in tension. Tension in the intermediate and rear cables rotate the parking brake actuator lever on the rear caliper assembly. The parking brake is self adjusting but pedal travel may increase with mileage. If a firm parking brake feel is not achieved with less than one pedal stroke, the parking brake system should be adjusted.
