Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Disconnect the vehicle’s battery and remove any existing cable or debris from the routing path. Inspect the housing and mounting points for damage.
2. Mounting: Attach one end of the ABS K18999 cable to the parking brake lever or pedal using the provided clamps or fasteners. Ensure that the cable is seated correctly and free of twists.
3. Routing: Guide the cable through the designated channel, avoiding sharp bends or contact with hot components. Use cable ties or clips if necessary to secure the path.
4. Tension Adjustment: Pull the cable taut until the parking brake engages at the correct lever position. If additional tension is required, adjust the mounting clamp accordingly.
5. Testing: Reconnect the battery and test the parking brake by engaging it fully and releasing it to confirm smooth operation and proper hold.
