Checking Free Play Of Parking-Brake Lever
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2012 Porsche Cayman, 2012 Porsche Boxster, 2011 Porsche Cayman, 2011 Porsche Boxster, and 2010 Porsche Cayman. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The parking-brake shoes must be adjusted if the parking-brake lever can be pulled up by more than 5 teeth or more than 10 teeth through application of medium force without producing a braking effect. 10 teeth applies to parking-brake levers with a modified/refined tooth system (introduction in standard production in February 2006).
