### Rear Disc Brakes

The park brake system allows a mechanical application of the rear brake pads to the rotor surface by pulling the park brake lever. When the park brake system is applied, the effort with which the brake lever is moved is transmitted by the cables to the brake levers which force the rear brake pads onto the brake rotor.

### Park Brake Lever

This vehicle is equipped with manually adjusted park brake lever. This mechanism automatically takes up any slack in the cables and provides the correct amount of tension in the cables when the system is released. The park brake cables cannot be manually adjusted. When operating correctly, the rear park brake actuator applies force to the rear brake pads. When the parking brake lever is released, the parking brakes will fully return to their mechanical stops eliminating any drag on the brake rotor.

### Park Brake Cables

The park brake system uses the following three separate cables:

• | The front cable

• | The left rear cable

• | The right rear cable

The left and right rear cables are joined to the front cable at the park brake cable equalizer. This vehicle is equipped with coated park brake cables. The cable is coated with a plastic material which slides over the plastic seals inside the conduit end fittings. The plastic material coating is for corrosion protection, and reduced park brake effort.
