Parking Brake
NOTE:
Before adjusting parking brake, loosen parking brake adjusting nut. Start engine, and depress brake pedal several times to set self-adjusting brakes before adjusting parking brake.
- With rear brakes adjusted, raise and support rear of vehicle. On vehicles with rear disc brakes, ensure parking brake arm on rear brake caliper contacts brake caliper pin. Remove rear console (Civic) or parking brake cover (CR-V).
- Release parking brake lever fully. Pull parking brake lever up one notch. Tighten adjusting nut until rear wheels drag slightly when turned. Release parking brake lever fully. Check that rear wheels do not drag when turned. Readjust, if necessary.
- On Civic, ensure parking brakes are fully applied when parking brake lever is pulled up 6-9 clicks. On CR-V, ensure parking brakes are fully applied when parking brake lever is pulled up 2-6 clicks. Reinstall rear console (Civic) or parking brake cover (CR-V).
