1. Pull the parking brake lever with a force of 

approximately 200 N and count the number of 
notches.

Standard value: 4 

−

 5 notches

2. If the parking brake lever stroke is not the 

standard value, adjust as described below.
(1) Remove the floor console assembly (Refer to 

GROUP 52A, Floor Console Assembly 

P.52A-14

).

(2) Loosen the adjusting nut to move it to the 

cable rod end so that the cable will be free.

(3) Remove the rear brake adjusting hole plug. 

Then insert a flat-tipped screwdriver to turn the 
adjuster to the arrow direction (to expand the 
shoe) until the parking brake shoe makes 
contact and the disc can no longer be turned. 
Back off the adjuster to the opposite direction 
by five notches.

CAUTION

If the parking brake lever stroke is below the 
standard value and the braking is too firm, the 
rear brakes may drag.

(4) Adjust the parking brake lever stroke to the 

standard value by turning the adjusting nut. 
After the adjustment, ensure that there is no 
free play between the adjusting nut and the 
parking brake lever.

(5) After the parking brake lever stroke is 

adjusted, raise the rear of the vehicle. Release 
the parking brake, turn the rear wheels to 
confirm that the rear brakes are not dragging.
