Technical Specifications

Compatibility Overview

The ABS K18797 Park Brake Cable is engineered to integrate seamlessly with a variety of vehicle models. Below are some representative examples where this component has proven effective:

• Suzuki Ignis (first and second generation)
• Various Suzuki models featuring left or right hand steering configurations
• Nipparts J18797 compatible systems, including the Cavo Comando and Freno Stazionamento assemblies
• Other automotive platforms that utilize a standard ABS K18797 cable architecture for parking brake operation

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported. Disconnect the battery to prevent accidental activation of the braking system.
2. Removal of Old Cable: Carefully detach the existing parking brake cable from both the lever mechanism and the wheel assembly. Note any tension or alignment settings that may need replication.
3. Installation of ABS K18797: Attach the new cable to the lever, ensuring it is seated correctly within the housing. Route the cable along the designated path, avoiding sharp bends that could compromise integrity.
4. Tension Adjustment: Using a calibrated tension gauge or following OEM torque specifications, adjust the cable tension so that the parking brake engages fully without excessive slack.
5. Testing: Reconnect the battery and test the parking brake by engaging it while the vehicle is stationary. Verify that the brake holds securely and releases smoothly when disengaged.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the cable periodically for signs of wear, corrosion, or fraying. Replace immediately if any damage is observed.
• Avoid over‑tightening during installation; excessive tension can lead to premature failure.
• Keep the cable path clear of debris and ensure that all fittings remain secure to prevent accidental disengagement.
