PARKING BRAKE CABLE ADJUSTMENT
(INTL)
When the parking brake is fully engaged and "BRAKE" is
displayed on the instrument cluster, engine speed is
limited to 1600 RPM while in gear. If throttle is applied,
this limiting feature prevents operation, which protects
the parking brake pads from excessive wear.
CAUTION
If the parking brake is adjusted too tight, it may result in
excess heat in the parking brake system that can lead
to premature pad and rotor wear along with driveability
issues while in operation.
1. Pull back on parking brake lever (located in the
center console).
2. After 3 to 4 clicks "BRAKE" should display on the
instrument cluster and the wheels should not rotate
when turning by hand. After 8 full clicks of lever
travel, the vehicle should not roll while parked.
