Attach the spring balance to the
centre of the parking brake lever grip. Then, check that
the stroke is within the standard value when the parking

9 notches

and start the engine.
4.Repeatedly depress the
brake pedal until the pedal stroke no longer changes with

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