Parking Brake Cable: Adjustments
1. Release the parking brake control, using the parking brake release handle.
2. WARNING: The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or towing an air suspension
vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension switch located in the luggage compartment. Failure to do so can result
in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
Raise and support the vehicle.
3. Pull the parking brake cable adjuster clip downward. The tensioner spring will take up the cable slack and preload the cables.
4. Push up on the bottom of the clip to lock adjustment. If the clip does not slide up, move the assembly slightly to align the closest groove on the
parking brake cable adjuster rod with the clip.
5. Note: If new cables are installed, allow 20 minutes prior to releasing the parking brake control.
Apply the parking brake control with 556 N (125 lb) foot-pedal effort and release using the parking brake release handle.
6. Pull the parking brake cable adjuster clip downward. The tensioner spring will take up the cable slack and preload the cables.
