ADJUSTING THE PARKING BRAKE
The parking brake might need adjustment over time and
after new brake pads have been installed.
NOTE: After installing new brake pads in the calipers,
they must be burnished by driving for a short distance
(about 100 feet) with the brake on. To do this, bring the
parking brake lever part-way up while driving in a straight
line. This quickly breaks-in the pads for maximum effec-
tiveness.
