According to the manufacturer, the travel of the parking lever should be:
- when adjusting 2-4 clicks;
- in operation 2–8 clicks.
The parking brake must hold the vehicle on a 25% slope when the lever is moved in the vehicle interior by 5-8 teeth (clicks) ratchet device.
1. To check that the parking brake is properly adjusted, locate a flyover or loading ramp near the parking lot of your vehicle H = 1.25 m at the entrance length L = 5 m. This ratio corresponds to a slope of 25%.
2. In the absence of such a ramp for a simplified check of the parking brake, install the car on a level area. Set the gearshift lever to neutral position, raise the parking brake lever fully. Get out of the car and try to move it. If you succeeded, you need to urgently adjust the parking brake actuator (see «Checking and adjusting the parking brake drive»).
