Foot-operated parking brake: Checking free play
The foot-operated parking brake, hereafter referred to as the FPB, is equipped with asbestos-free brake pads. The FPB pedal module is located on the left in the driver's footwell.
1. Lift vehicle → 40 V0 LIFTING THE VEHICLE - AS OF MY 2003 (CAYENNE TURBO S, CAYENNE S TIO TITAN) or 40 V0 LIFTING THE VEHICLE - AS OF MY 2003 (CAYENNE TIP, CAYENNE MAN, CAYENNE S TIP, CAYENNE S MAN, CAYENNE TURBO) .
- An FPB that is equipped with asbestos-free brake pads must never be adjusted in such a way that the pad has to grind free during operation!
- Adjustment must only be done at the two adjustment devices on the rear wheels. Do not make adjustments at the pedal module or at the Z deflector on the center console.
- Ensure that the FPB cables are routed correctly.
Check free play at the pedal module:
To do this, measure from the left seat rail up to the lower edge of the pedal plate of the FPB.
2. Depress pedal 40 mm (+ 5 mm). When this dimension is reached, the wheels must be able to turn without grinding the brake pads.
3. Depress pedal 75 mm (+ 5 mm). When this dimension is reached, the wheels must be fixed. If the wheels can still turn, the FPB must be adjusted!
