Drum-in-disc type parking brake system

down operation.

Regarding engine speed when idling (1UR-FSE engine)

When idling with the shift lever in P or N for an extensive period of time, the engine
speed may rise to approximately 1000 rpm (r/min). This is not a malfunction. After a
set period of time, the engine will return to its previous engine speed.
