If deterioration of rubber is evident, disassemble all
hydraulic parts and wash with alcohol. Dry these parts
with compressed air before assembly to keep alcohol out
of the system. Replace all rubber parts in the system,
including hoses. Also, when working on the brake
mechanisms, check for fluid on the linings.
If excessive fluid is found, replace the pads. If master cylinder piston seals
are satisfactory, check for
leakage or excessive heat co nditions. If leakage is not
found, drain fluid, flush with brake fluid, refill and bleed
system.
The system must be flushed if there is any doubt as to
the grade of fluid in the system or if fluid has been used
which contained parts that have been subjected to
contaminated fluid.

Repair Instructions
Parking Brake Inspection and AdjustmentS7RS0B4406001
Inspection
Hold center of parking brake lever grip and pull it up with
200 N (20 kg, 44 lbs) force.
With parking brake lever pulled up as shown, count
ratchet notches. There should be 4 to 9 notches.
Also, check if both right and left rear wheels are locked
firmly.
To count number of notches easily, listen to click sounds
that ratchet makes while pulling parking brake lever
without pressing its button.
One click sound corresponds to one notch.
If number of notches is out of specification, adjust cable
referring to adjustment procedure so as to obtain
specified parking brake stroke.
NOTE
Check tooth tip of each notch for damage or
wear.
If any damage or wear is found, replace
parking brake lever.
Adjustment
NOTE
Make sure for the following conditions before
cable adjustment.
• No air is trapped in brake system.
• Brake pedal travel is proper.
• Start engine and then brake pedal has been depressed at least 3 times with about
160 N (16.0 kg, 35.3 lbs) load.
• Parking brake lever (1) has been pulled up a few times with about 200 N (20 kg, 44 lbs)
load.
If parking brake cable is replaced with new
one, pull up parking brake lever a few
times with about 500 N ⋅m (50 kg, 110 lbs)
force.
1) Release parking brake lever (1).
2) Loosen parking brake lever adjust nut (2) fully.
3) Make sure that lever (3) contacts pin (4).
4) Pull up parking brake lever 1 notch.
5) Rotate rear wheel by hand and fasten parking lever adjust nut until dragging rear wheel lightly.

6) Release parking brake lever and then make sure that there is no drag in rear wheel.
If there is, repeats go to step 2).
7) Make sure that the number of notch is between 4 and 9 when operating parking brake lever.
8) If the number of notch is not between 4 and 9, replace parking brake cable and/or inspect rear
brake caliper.
