Parking brake stroke
Check the parking brake stroke according to the main-
tenance schedule in the "Saab Warranty and Service
Record Booklet". When the parking brake is properly
adjusted, braking power is fully applied by pulling the
lever up seven to eight notches gently but firmly (about
44 lbs [196 N, 20 kg]). If the parking brake lever stroke
is not within the specified range, have the brake sys-
tem checked and adjusted at your Saab dealer.
