Normal Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Montego, 2005 Ford Freestyle, and 2005 Ford Five Hundred. 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 pressed. The parking brake control applies tension to brake pads through the front parking brake cable and conduit, the intermediate parking brake cable, and the LH and RH rear parking brake cables. The respective rear parking brake assemblies are then applied.
