CAUTION:
•• Description in parentheses is a characteristic of hill-holder and does not indicate abnormality.
Depressing force required for clutch pedal equipped to hill-holder specifications is 20 to 29 N (2 to 3 kg, 4 to 71b) larger than
the conventional specifications, which does not constitute abnormality.
b. When vehicle cannot travel (brake cannot be released) because return spring is broken, remove adjust nut, disconnect clutch
and PHV, and then return PHV lever to release the brake. (Be sure to apply the parking brake before starting this operation.)

The hill-holder may not be activated on a slope of an extremely small inclination. If you want to correct it, insert a shim in
between the side frame and support, thereby raising the front of PHV.
When inserting a shim, be sure to confirm stopping status on a slope whenever inserting a single shim. It is recommendable to
avoid raising front of PHV excessively. Never insert 2 or more shims at a time.
