Pedal Assembly Version

Phased in as of approximately September of 2002 a modified design of parking brake pedal assembly system (1) has been fitted on all vehicles. See Fig 1 .

The new version of the pedal assembly (1) has a pulled notch (2a) instead of a pushed notch (2b). This results in different values for adjustment of the parking brake. The new and previous version can be distinguished by the position of the shaft journal (3) in the pedal lever (4). Moreover the notches (2a and 2b) differ in color. See Fig 2 .

  1. New Version

    The shaft journal of notch (2a) is mounted offset from the pedal lever center. The color of notch is Light Gray.
  2. Old Version

    The shaft journal of notch (2b) is mounted centrally in the pedal lever. The color of notch is Black.
