LEVER STROKE
• When the parking brake lever is operated with the specified force, check that the stroke is within the speci- C
fied number of notches. Measure the stroke by listening and counting the ratchet clicks until the parking
brake is fully engaged.
Lever stroke : Refer to PB-9, "Parking Brake Control". D
INSPECTION
• Check that the components are attached properly, check for looseness or backlash. E
• Check the parking brake lever assembly for bends, damage and cracks, and replace if necessary.
• Check the cables for wear and damage, and replace if necessary.
• Check the parking brake warning lamp switch for any malfunction, and repair if necessary. Refer to MWI-3,
"Work Flow". PB
ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove the rear half of the center console. Refer to IP-10, "Exploded View". G
2. Rotate the adjusting nut to loosen the cable until the cable ten-
sion is sufficiently released.

3. Remove the rear wheels and tires. Refer to WT-46, "Rotation". K
4. Remove the rear disc rotor and measure inner diameter of the
parking brake drum at widest point using a suitable tool as
shown. L
5. Transfer the measurement less 0.6 mm (0.024 in) to the parking
brake shoes and adjust them accordingly.
6. Using the wheel nuts, secure the rear disc rotor to the hub to M
prevent it from tilting.
7. Rotate the rear disc rotor to make sure there is no drag.
8. Adjust the parking brake cables as follows: N
a. Operate the parking brake lever 10 or more times with a force of
490 N (50 kg-f, 110 lb-f).
b. Rotate the adjusting nut to adjust the parking brake lever stroke O
to specification.
Lever stroke : Refer to PB-9, "Parking Brake Control". P
c. With the parking brake lever completely disengaged, make sure
there is no drag on the parking brakes.

2. Perform the parking brake break-in operation by driving the vehicle forward under the following conditions:
• Maintain vehicle speed at 40 km/h (25 MPH) moving forward.
• Apply the parking brake control lever with an operating force of 196 N (20.0 kg-f, 44.1 lb-f).
• Apply the parking brake control lever for a period of 30 seconds before releasing.
CAUTION:
• To prevent lining from getting too hot, allow a cool off period of approximately 5 minutes after
every break-in operation.
• Do not perform excessive break-in operations, because it may cause uneven or early wear of lin-
ing.
3. After the break-in operation, check parking brake control lever stroke. Readjust as necessary if it is not
within the specified stroke. Refer to PB-3, "On-Vehicle Service".
