Note:
Due to the self-adjusting rear brakes there is no
requirement to adjust the parking brake.
Adjustment is only necessary after replacing
parking brake cables, brake calipers, brake
pads and brake discs.
Remove hand grip and central console to allow
access to adjusting nuts (arrows)
- Parking brake lever in "off" position. Tighten
adjusting nut until lever (arrow) lifts off the brake
caliper stop.
- A gap of max. 1.5 mm from stop (arrow) is
permissible each side but should be set the same
on both sides.
- Pull parking brake on and then release again.
- Check that both wheels turn freely.
