PARKING BRAKE PEDAL STROKE CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT

Standard value: 1 notch
2. If the parking brake pedal stroke is not within the standard value, adjust as described below.
1) Release the parking brake.
2) Remove the console inner box tray and plate, and then loosen the adjusting nut to move it to the cable rod end so that the cable will be free.
3) Remove the rear wheels, and then remove the adjustment hole plug on the brake disc.
4) 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
by hand. Return the adjuster five notches in the direction opposite to the direction of the arrow.
5) Install the rear wheels, and then tighten the wheel nuts to 98 ± 10 Nm (73 ± 7 ft. lbs.).
CAUTION: Be careful that the parking brake pedal stroke should be within the standard value. If the stroke is too short, brake dragging can
be caused.

rod is not loose.
7) Release the parking brake and turn the rear wheels to check that the rear brakes are not dragging.
