Parking Brake and Actuation - Parking Brake Cougar 1999 (08/1998-01/2001)
Description and Operation

The parking brake system is cable operated and controlled by an independent hand-operated parking brake control.

The parking brake control lever activates the rear brake calipers through a cable and rear caliper lever with an integral cam. A pawl within the rear brake caliper rotates the piston adjustment screw to compensate for pad wear.

To adjust the cable, operate the parking brake control several times.
