Parking brake lever stroke
E01005800173
Pull the parking brake lever up to check the number of “clicks”
that the ratchet makes. One click represents a lever movement
of one notch. The lever should move the specified number of
notches for normal brake application.
If the parking brake lever stroke is out of the standard range,
we recommend that you have it checked.● Do not install a tyre chain on an emergency wheel
which is compact in size. If one of the front wheels
has punctured, replace it wi th one of the rear wheels
and install the compact sp are wheel in that place
before fitting a tyre chain.
● An aluminium wheel can be damaged by a tyre
chain while driving. When fitting a tyre chain on an
aluminium wheel, take care th at no part of the chain
or fitting can come into contact with the wheel.
●Remove the wheel covers before installing a tyre
chain, otherwise they m ay be damaged by the tyre
chain. (Refer to “Wheel covers” on page 6-34.)
● When installing or removing a tyre chain, take care
that hands and other part s of your body are not
injured by the sharp edges of the vehicle body.
● Install the chains only on the front tyres and tighten
them as tightly as possibl e with the ends securely
fastened.
