Foot-operated parking brake: checking free play: Notes
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.
NOTE:
- 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!
- Adjustments must only be carried out at the two rear wheel adjustment devices. No adjustment may be made on the pedal module or on the Z deflector on the center console.
- Ensure that the FPB cables are routed correctly.
Check free play on the pedal module:
To do this, measure from the left seat rail up to the lower edge of the pedal plate of the FPB!
1. Depress → Adjustment value: 40 mm +5 mm . If this dimension is reached, the wheels must be able to turn without grinding the brake pads.
2. Depress → Adjustment value: 75 mm +5 mm . If this dimension is reached, the wheels must be fixed. If the wheels can still turn, the FPB must be adjusted!
