Parking Brake
- Control lever
- Bracket
- Primary mechanical cable
- Adjuster nut
- Compensator
- Secondary mechanical cables.
The control lever (1), in the illustration above, applies to model years up to and including 2007.
The rear brake caliper has an integrated parking brake mechanism.
The mechanism is self-adjusting. Adjustment takes place every time after braking.
The control lever (1) is located between the front seats. The control lever contains a locking arrangement. This is released with the push-button in the lever handle. The control lever is mounted on a shaft. The shaft is mounted in a bracket (2) which is screwed to the tunnel.
On the front end of the primary mechanical cable (3) is an adjuster nut (4) for manual adjustment of the cables. The primary mechanical cable is routed through a hole in the front floor to the compensator (5), where the two secondary mechanical cables (6) are mounted. The secondary mechanical cables are routed crosswise to the relevant brake caliper.
The secondary mechanical cables are routed on the underside of the floor to the cross member under the rear seat, where they are secured in two clamps on either side. They are then routed via a mechanical cable holder in the floor to a clamp in the control arm. The mechanical cable bushing is mounted in the caliper and the end of the cable is mounted in the caliper lever.
