Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to ensure safety. Remove any existing cable or debris from the parking brake housing.
2. Positioning: Align the new cable with the parking brake lever and ensure it follows the correct path through the steering column.
3. Securing: Fasten the cable to the lever using the provided clamp or screw mechanism. Tighten until the lever moves smoothly but with firm resistance.
4. Adjustment: Pull the cable to the desired tension, then lock it in place. Verify that the parking brake engages fully when the lever is pulled and releases completely when returned.
5. Testing: Reconnect the battery, start the vehicle, and test the parking brake in a safe area. Confirm that the brake holds the vehicle stationary without slippage.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting
