Standard value: 176 - 181 mm (6.9 - 7.1 inches)
(From the surface of meeting sheet to the face of pedal pad)
1) Disconnect the stoplight switch connector, loosen the jam nut and move the stoplight switch to a position where it does not contact the brake
pedal arm.
2) Adjust the brake pedal height by turning the operating rod with pliers (with the operating rod jam nut loosened).
3) Screw in the stoplight switch until it contacts the brake pedal stopper (just before brake pedal begins to move). Return the stoplight switch half

5) Check to be sure that the stoplight is not illuminated with the brake pedal released.

With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal two or three times. After eliminating the vacuum in the brake booster, press the pedal down by hand,
and confirm that the amount of movement before resistance is met (free play) is within the standard value range.
