Tire RotationELS001H5
1. Rotate the tires on each side from front to back as shown.
2. Adjust the tire pressure to specification. Refer to WT-34, "
Tire" .
3. After the tire rotation, retighten the wheel nuts after the vehicle
has been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles), and also after a wheel
and tire have been installed such as after repairing a flat tire.
Checking Brake Fluid Level and LeaksELS001CA

Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank. It should be
between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the reservoir tank.

If the fluid level is extremely low, check the brake system.

If the brake warning lamp comes on when the fluid is at the cor-
rect level, check the brake fluid level switch and the parking
brake switch.
Checking Brake Lines and CablesELS001CB
1. Check the brake lines and hoses for cracks, deterioration, and
other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
CAUTION:
If brake fluid leaks are visible around the brake line joints,
retighten the joint, or replace damaged parts as necessary.
2. Check for brake fluid leaks by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.
Checking Disc BrakeELS001CC
ROTOR
Check the rotor condition for wear or damage. Refer to BR-31,
"Front Disc Brake" , BR-32, "Rear Disc Brake" . Wheel nuts : Refer to WT-6, "
WHEEL AND TIRE
ASSEMBLY" .

PEDAL STROKE

When parking brake pedal is operated with the specified force, make sure the stroke is within the specified
number of notches. Check by listening and counting the ratchet clicks.
INSPECTION

Make sure the components are attached properly, checking for looseness or backlash.

Check parking brake pedal assembly for bends, damage and cracks, and replace if necessary.

Check cable for wear and damage, and replace if necessary.

Check parking brake warning lamp switch for malfunction, and replace if necessary. Refer to DI-31, "Wir-
ing Diagram — WARN —" .
ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove lower driver instrument panel. Refer to IP-13, "Instrument Lower Cover LH" .
2. Partially engage parking brake pedal to access adjusting nut.
3. Insert a deep socket wrench to rotate adjusting nut and loosen
cable sufficiently. Then, disengage the parking brake pedal.
4. Remove the wheel and tire using power tool.
5. Remove the rotor and measure inner diameter at widest point
using Tool.
6. Transfer measurement less 0.6 mm to the parking brake shoes
and adjust accordingly.
7. Using wheel nuts, secure the disc to the hub to prevent it from
tilting.
8. Rotate disc rotor to make sure there is no drag.
9. Adjust cable as follows:
a. Operate pedal 10 or more times with a force of 490 N (50 kg,
11 0 l b ) .
b. Rotate adjusting nut with deep socket to adjust pedal stroke to
specification.
c. With parking brake pedal completely disengaged, make sure
there is no drag on the parking brake.Pedal stroke : 3 − 4 notches [under force of 196 N (20.0 kg, 44.1 lb)]
