BRAKES 5C-31
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE OF BRAKE PEDAL
The push rod serves as the brake pedal stopper when the
pedal is fully released.
Brake pedal height adjustment should be performed as follows.
RTW 35CSH000601
Brake Pedal - Height
Measure the brake pedal height after making sure the pedal is
fully returned by the pedal return spring.
Note:
Pedal height (L2) must be measured after starting the
engine and increasing the revolution several times by
stepping on the accelerator pedal. mm (in)
Pedal free play (L1) 6 - 10 (0.24 - 0.39)
M/T 174 - 186 (6.85 - 7.32) Height (L2)
A/T 176 - 188 (6.93 - 7.40)
Note:
Pedal free play must be measured after turning off the
engine and stepping on the brake pedal firmly five times
or more.
If the measured value deviates from the above range, adjust
the brake pedal as follows:
a) Disconnect the stop lamp switch.
b) Loosen the lock nut on the push rod.
c)
Adjust the brake pedal to the specified height by rotating the
push rod in the appropriate direction.
