  1. Raise the vehicle.
  2. Mark the front and rear tires for easy identification of tire rotation.
  3. Adjust the parking brake lever to the normal conditions (Refer to PARKING BRAKE LEVER STROKE CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT ).
  4. Pull the parking brake lever by two notches.
    NOTE: Applying the parking brake slightly prevents the drive force transferring to the rear wheels by a friction in the electronic control coupling. If it is checked without the parking brake apply, the drive force is transferred to the rear wheels by a friction in the electronic control coupling.
