| <Vehicles with rear drum brakes> Depress the parking brake pedal by approximately 200 N. Standard value: 1 - 2 notches If the parking brake pedal stroke is not within the standard value, adjust as described below.
| Loosen the adjusting nut to the end of the cable rod in order to allow slack in the cables. Depress the brake pedal repeatedly until the brake pedal has no change in its stroke. NOTE: Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly adjusts shoe clearance correctly.

Adjust the parking brake pedal stroke to the standard value by turning the adjusting nut. After the adjustment, ensure that there is no free play between the adjusting nut and the parking brake pedal. In addition, check that the adjusting nut is secured by the nut holder. After the parking brake pedal stroke is adjusted, raise the rear of the vehicle. Release the parking brake, turn the rear wheels to confirm that the rear brakes are not dragging.
