Parking Brake: Adjustment
NOTE:
After rear brake servicing, loosen parking brake adjusting nut, start engine, and press brake pedal several times to set self-adjusting brake before adjusting parking brake. See Fig 1.
- Adjust parking brake if lever clicks are out of specification. Block front wheels, then raise rear of vehicle, and make sure its securely supported. On models with rear disc brakes, make sure parking brake arm on rear brake caliper contacts brake caliper pin. See Fig 2. On all models, pull parking brake lever up one click. Remove center console or rear console lid for access to adjuster nut. Tighten adjusting nut until parking brakes drag slightly when rear wheels are turned. See Fig 3.
- Release brake lever fully and check that parking brakes do not drag when rear wheels are turned. Repeat if necessary. Make sure parking brakes are fully applied when parking brake lever is pulled up fully. Reinstall console.
