2. The parking brake pedal should be locked within the specified number of clicks.

Pedal locked clicks: 9 to 11 clicks

3. Adjust the parking brake if the pedal clicks are not within the specification.

NOTE: Minor parking brake pedal adjustments (1 to 2 clicks) can be made with the adjusting nut (see parking brake minor adjustment).
