Examination


1. Remove the ashtray from the rear console, disconnect the multi-pin electrical connector from the electrical outlet, and remove the ashtray.

2. Release the parking brake lever completely.

3. With the engine running, press the brake pedal at least thirty times to adjust the rear brake pad clearance.
