adjust as described below:
1. Remove the floor console box cup holder (Refer to GROUP

2. Loosen the adjusting nut to the end of the cable rod in order

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 disk can no longer be turned. Back
off the adjuster to the opposite direction by five notches.

CAUTION

Be careful that the parking brake lever notch number
should be within the standard range. If the notch number
is too low, rear brake dragging can be caused.
4. Adjust the parking brake lever stroke to the standard value

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

5. After adjusting the parking brake lever stroke, release the

parking brake. Then turn the rear wheels to check that the
rear brakes are not dragging.
