Adjustment is made in accordance with the Routine Maintenance Schedule (see chapter Current service), as well as every time after replacing or removing / installing rear pads / shoes or discs / drums.

Adjusting nut



1. Support the front wheels with wheel chocks, jack up the rear of the vehicle and support it on jack stands.

2. Remove the cover of the center console, release the cover of the parking brake lever from the console and lift it to provide access to the adjusting nut in front of the lever (see illustration Adjusting nut). The adjusting nut is located in front of the parking brake lever - first raise the protective cover.

3. Fully release the lever and loosen the nut slightly to get some slack in the cable.

4. Depress the foot brake pedal at least five times. On models with drum brake mechanisms of the rear wheels, ask the assistant to determine by ear the operation of the mechanism for adjusting the installation gap of the rear shoes - continue to depress the pedal until the regulator stops clicking.


5. Fully cock, then release the lever again.

6. Raise the lever three clicks, then tighten the adjusting nut until the rear wheels start to stick, - it should be possible to turn the wheels by hand. Both rear wheels must turn with the same resistance, otherwise check the free movement of the drive cables in their shells.
