Parking Brake Inspection and Adjustment
Inspection
1. Press the parking brake pedal (A) with 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lbf) of force to fully apply the parking brake. The parking brake pedal should be locked
within the specified number of clicks.
2. Adjust the parking brake if the pedal clicks are not within the specification.
NOTE: Minor parking brake pedal adjustments (1 to 2 clicks) can be made with the adjusting nut. If a larger adjustment is required, follow the
major adjustment procedure using the adjuster nut at the parking brake drum.
After installing new parking brake shoes and/or new brake disc/drum, make sure you drive the vehicle for "break-in".

2. Fully release the parking brake pedal.
3. Press the parking brake pedal 1 click.
4. Tighten the parking brake adjusting nut (A) until the parking brakes drag slightly when the rear wheels are turned.
5. Release the parking brake pedal fully, and check that the parking brakes do not drag when the rear wheels are turned. Readjust if necessary.
6. Make sure the parking brakes are fully applied when the parking brake pedal is pressed all the way.
Major Adjustment (to be done when replacing parking brake shoes and after lining surface break-in)

2. Fully release the parking brake pedal.
