Parking Brake System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Milan, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, and 2006 Ford Fusion. 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 hand-operated parking brake control that is not self-adjusting. The parking brake system is actuated when the parking brake control is pulled up. The parking brake control applies tension to the brake pads through the equalizer and the rear parking brake cables.
