Adjusting the foot-operated parking brake
Foot-operated parking brake: checking free play
The foot-operated parking brake, hereafter referred to
as the FPB, is equipped with asbestos-free brake pads.
The FPB's pedal module is located on the left in the
driver's footwell.
Note!
• An FPB that is equipped with asbestos-free brake
pads must never be adjusted in such a way that the
pad must grind down during operation!
• Adjustments may only be carried out at the two rear
wheel adjustment devices! No adjustment may be
made on the pedal module or on the Z deflector on
the centre console.
• Ensure that the FPB cables are routed correctly.
Check free play on the pedal module:
• To do this, measure from the left seat rail up to the
lower edge of the pedal plate on the FPB!
1. Press pedal 40 mm (+ 5 mm). If this dimension is
reached, the wheels must be able to turn without
grinding the brake pads.
2. Press pedal 75 mm (+ 5 mm). If this dimension is
reached, the wheels must be fixed. If the wheels
can still turn, the FPB must be adjusted!

• In the event of unfavourable tolerances, the brake
pads may prevent the brake disc from turning
freely. If this happens, the brake pads must be
pressed back slightly and uniformly -Direction
arrow- using piston resetting fixture 144 , see
Workshop Equipment Manual, Chapter 2.4!
1. Release the FPB pedal so that the wheels and brake
discs can turn freely.
• The wheels may still grind slightly even then! If this
happens, loosen the rear brake cables by moving them
to and fro gently.
2. Remove rear wheels.
3. Adjust brake shoes (on both wheels). To do this,
unscrew the plugs -Arrow- and turn the brake disc
with the opening towards the adjustment device
position. Using a screwdriver, modify the adjustment
device until the wheel can no longer be turned. Then
unscrew 6 teeth (wheels must be free to turn).
4. Check the free play on the pedal module once again.
5. Mount rear wheels.
