Due to the self-adjusting rear brakes there is no
requirement to adjust the parking brake.
Adjustment is only necessary after replacing
parking brake cables, brake calipers, brake
pads and brake discs. Remove hand grip and central console to allow
access to adjusting nuts (arrows) Page 46-39 . - Parking brake lever in "off" position. Tighten
adjusting nut until lever (arrow) lifts off the brake
caliper stop.
- A gap of max. 1.5 mm from stop (arrow) is
permissible each side but should be set the same
on both sides.

Note: - Thread piston into housing by turning knurled
wheel clockwise. Install special tool 3272 so that the collar (arrow)
of the tool is seated against the brake carrier. If piston is difficult to move, use a 13 mm open
end wrench on flats (arrow A) provided for this
purpose. If the piston is pushed back with a piston resetting
tool or by operating the foot brake the automatic
adjustment in the brake caliper is destroyed.
