  Note
t  Resetting of the hand-brake is not required after resetting of the rear brake due to automatic resetting of the rear wheel-brake.
t  Resetting is required after replacing the hand-brake cable, the brake caliper or after replacing the brake pads or the brake disc.
t  The brake system must be ventilated and fully functional.
–  Remove the centre console → Body Work; Rep. gr.68.
–  Release the hand-brake.
–  Forcefully apply the foot brake repeatedly.
–  Pull the handbrake on and release it three times.

–  Check distance -a- between the lever and stop on the left and right brake caliper using a feeler gauge.
   With the hand-brake released the total distance -a- (between the lever and the stop) on the left and right brake caliper must not be less than or exceed a minimum of 1 mm and a maximum of 4mm; the maximum distance of 3 mm on a brake must not be exceeded.
–  Pull the handbrake on and release it three times. This sets the components into position.
–  With the hand-brake released check whether the two wheels turn freely, release the adjusting nut slightly and check distance -a- again if necessary.
–  Put the hand-brake lever into the 1st catch position and release the hand-brake.
   The hand-brake must automatically return into the release position below the 1st catch.
–  Install the centre console → Body Work; Rep. gr.68.
