Pull the parking brake lever with a force of approx. 200 N and count the number of 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 GROUP52A) (2) Loosen the adjusting nut to move it to the cable rod end so that the cable will be free. (3) Depress the brake pedal repeatedly until the lever has no change in its stroke. Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly adjusts shoe clearance correctly.
