WARNING: When retracting the piston back into the caliper housing, brake fluid is pushed into the reservoir. When moving the caliper, ensure the caliper is supported. Make sure that brake pad contact points are clean and free from any contamination.

BRAKE PADS ASSEMBLY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To ensure correct rear brake operation, it is critical to fit the brake pads correctly as per the diagram below. The rear pads if fitted wrong will give uneven wear, noise and poor performance. The reason is that the caliper construction does not allow for the anti-rattle spring to fit in the outer edge of the caliper bridge and as such does not allow the pad to sit flat to the disc. The inner pad will rattle when the brake is not being applied.

OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS

Brake fluid is hygroscopic, and it should be changed at regular intervals. Do not use fluid which does not comply with the specifications indicated in the table. Take care not to let fluid accidentally drop onto painted, rubber, plastic and mechanical parts. Do not use brake fluid from a container that has been open for an extended period of time.
 

PARKING BRAKE

ELECTRONIC PARK BRAKE OPERATION

Certain models may have been fitted with the optional Electronic Park Brake system. This system includes a special key, a clutch pedal switch, a brake pedal switch, an emergency brake release mechanism and an actuator positioned under the spare wheel compartment. The only user interface is the Electronic Park Brake Switch or toggle which actuate the Park Brake.

The electronic park brake lock can be one of two types, namelystatic braking or dynamic braking:

during static braking, at a speed below 4 km/h or with the vehicle stopped, the key is pulled up shortly to lock brake;

during dynamic braking, at speeds above 4 km/h, the key is pulled up to achieve a gradual braking effect.

ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: Procedure applying only to the mechanical parking brake. A diagnosis tool must be used for the Electronic Park Brake.

Note:

Before adjusting a new or re-routed cable, make sure that the brake lever is completely released, and allow system settling in the four following steps:

  • Step 1: Tighten adjuster nut to a torque of 2 Nm.
  • Step 2: Lift parking brake lever by twelve notches.
  • Step 3: Release parking brake lever all the way down.
  • Step 4: Loosen nut and slacken off until the end of the thread is reached.
  • Remove the dust seal cover from the parking brake controllever.
  • Disable the parking brake.
  • Make sure that parking brake cable is correctly routed.

Note:

Do not exceed the recommended torque of 2 Nm. Do not turn the adjuster nut by more than 23 turns. Failure to comply with these recommendations can lead to cable threading damage.

  • Make sure that the parking brake lever is fully released, and adjust the brake cable in the four following steps:
  • Step 1: Insert a 0.7 feeler gauge between the parking brake lever and the cam assembly pin on both sides.
  • Step 2: With the help of another operator, tighten the adjuster nutuntil a movement on one of the parking brake caliper levers can be visible.
  • Step 3: Remove feeler gauge.
  • Step 4: Spin the rear wheels and check if there is any brake hard point. Should this be the case, loosen the parking brake adjuster nut until threading end, clean the parking brake cables, and repeat the adjustment procedure.
  • Fit the parking brake control lever dust seal cover.
