Brake Pedal-To-Floor Panel Clearance Check And Adjustment
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn up the floor carpet or other similar material under the brake pedal.
- Using a needle or similar tools, measure the dimension E shown in the illustration (from the dash panel pad surface to the dash panel).
- Start the engine, and depress the brake pedal with approximately 500 N. Then, measure the dimension F shown in the illustration (from the center of pedal pad surface to the dash panel pad surface).
- Check that the sum of the dimensions E and F measured in Steps 2 and 3 (clearance between the brake pedal and the floor panel) is within the standard value.
Standard value (E+F): 85 mm (3.35 inch) or more
- If the clearance between the brake pedal and the floor panel is not within the standard value, check for the air intrusion in brake line and the thickness of disk brake pad. Make corrections or replace components as necessary.
- Recover the floor carpet or other similar material under the brake pedal.
