Parking Brake
The parking brake system consists of the following components:
The parking brake system is a mechanical system that activates a self-adjusting brake system within the rear brake caliper.
The parking brake system is cable-actuated and controlled by an independent hand-operated parking brake control. The parking brake system is actuated when the parking brake control is pulled up and released by pressing the release button on the end of the parking brake control handle. The parking brake control applies tension to rear brake pads through the front parking brake cable and conduit and the LH and RH rear parking brake cables. The respective rear parking brake assemblies are then applied.
