(2) Loosen the adjuster to move it to the cable rod 

end so that the cable will be free.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position, and 

start the engine.

(4) Repeatedly depress the brake pedal until the 

pedal stroke no longer changes with the 
engine running.

NOTE: If the pedal stroke stops changing, the 
automatic-adjustment mechanism is function-
ing normally, and the clearance between the 
shoe and drum is correct.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to "OFF" position, and 

stop the engine.

CAUTION

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

(6) Turn the adjuster to adjust the parking brake 

lever stroke to the standard value. After 
adjusting, check that there is no space 
between the adjuster and the parking brake 
lever. Check that the adjuster is secured with 
the adjuster holder. 

(7) After adjusting the parking brake lever stroke, 

jack up the rear end of the vehicle, and then 
release the parking brake and turn the rear 
wheels to check that the rear brakes are not 
dragging.
