Normal Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The parking brake system is cable-actuated and controlled by an independent foot-operated parking brake control that is self-adjusting. The parking brake system is actuated when the parking brake control is applied. The parking brake control applies tension to rear parking brake shoes through the front parking brake cable and the LH/RH rear parking brake cables. The LH/RH rear parking brake assemblies are then applied by activating a shoe-and-drum system within the rear brake disc.
