Installing Pedal For Foot-Operated Parking Brake (FPB)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Porsche Cayenne, 2009 Porsche Cayenne, and 2008 Porsche Cayenne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Information

Replace micro-encapsulated screws.
If the bowden cable or front brake cable are damaged, replace them.
Automatic cable adjustment means that the foot-operated parking brake does not need to be set (basic setting).

Fix the adjustment device using an auxiliary pin (max. 3.5 mm Ø) -arrow- (this makes assembly easier). In other words: press the adjustment device together until the assembly bores are covered and the auxiliary pin can be inserted. Engage front brake cable. The retainer engages automatically. Remove the auxiliary pin again.
