Parking Brake

Parking Brake
The parking brake system is cable-actuated and controlled by an independent foot-operated parking brake control. The parking brake control applies tension to the front parking brake cable and conduit, activating the parking brake cable equalizer. The parking brake cable equalizer is coupled to the RH and LH parking brake rear cable and conduit. The parking brake cable and conduits actuate the parking brake levers engaging the parking brake shoes with the parking brake drum and hat assembly.

Brake Warning System
The brake warning indicator is located in the instrument cluster. It illuminates to signal the driver that the parking brake is applied or to signal a low brake fluid condition. The brake warning indicator remains lit to indicate a brake system concern has occurred. The system is diagnosed in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators.
