PARKING BRAKE LEVER STROKE CHECK
AND ADJUSTMENT
1. Pull the parking brake lever with a force of approx. 196
N and count the number of notches.
Standard value: 3 ± 5 notches
2. If the parking brake lever stroke is not the standard value,
adjust as described below.
(1) Remove the rear floor console, and then loosen the
adjusting nut to move it to the cable rod end so that
the cable will be free.
(2) Remove the rear wheels.
(3) Remove the adjustment hole plug, and then use a
flat-tip (±) screwdriver to turn the adjuster in the
direction of the arrow (the direction which expands
the shoe) so that the disc will not rotate.
Return the adjuster five notches in the direction
opposite to the direction of the arrow.
(4) Turn the adjusting nut to adjust the parking brake lever
stroke to the standard value. After adjusting, check that
there is no space between the adjusting nut and the
parking brake lever.
Caution
If the parking brake lever stroke is below the
standard value and the braking is too firm, the
rear brakes may drag.
(5) Release the parking brake and turn the rear wheels
to check that the rear brakes are not dragging.
