Before you begin: Disconnect the wire from the terminal "—" battery.
Attention! Carry out the adjustment with the engine off.
Attention! The free play of the brake pedal is adjusted by moving the brake light switch and should be 3-5 mm when properly adjusted.
Attention! If the free play of the brake pedal is reduced, the wheels may brake, causing overheating of the brake mechanisms, as a result of which the car accelerates poorly.
Attention! Increased free play of the pedal does not allow accurate calculation of the braking force.
1. Gently press the brake pedal with your hand until you feel resistance. In this position, insert a 3 mm thick plate between the switch buffer and the pedal bracket. If the plate does not fit between the bracket and the buffer, or there is a large gap between them (more than 2 mm), adjust the brake pedal free play.
2. While holding the pedal down, loosen the two nuts securing the brake light switch and move the switch until the pedal has the desired free play. After adjustment, the bracket must rest against the buffer of the switch (with the pedal released). While holding the switch in this position, tighten the mounting nuts. If in this way it was not possible to adjust the free play of the pedal, be sure to contact a specialist.
