Checking The Free Play Of The Parking Brake Lever
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2004 Porsche Boxster, 2003 Porsche Boxster, 2002 Porsche Boxster, 2001 Porsche Boxster, and 2000 Porsche Boxster. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The parking brake has asbestos-free brake linings. The parking brake with asbestos-free brake linings must never be adjusted in such a way that the pad must "grind down" during operation.
If the parking brake lever can be pulled up by more than 4 teeth without braking effect being apparent when medium force is applied, the parking brake must be adjusted.
