Parking Brake System: Adjustments

ADJUSTMENT

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 brake before adjusting the parking brake.

1. Block the front wheels, then raise the rear of the vehicle and make sure it is securely supported.
2. Pull the parking brake lever up one click.





3. Remove the console.
4. Tighten the adjusting nuts (A) until the parking brakes drag slightly when the rear wheels are turned.





5. Release the parking brake lever fully, and check that parking brakes do not drag when the rear wheels are turned. Readjust if necessary.
6. Make sure that the parking brakes are fully applied when the parking brake lever is pulled up fully.
7. Reinstall the console.
