Service brakes
The disc brakes on the front wheels and the disc or drum brakes on the rear wheels are automatically adjusted, so no adjustment work is required. When the brake pads are worn, the rear brakes are adjusted by applying the foot or hand brake, depending on the version. The prerequisite for this is the flawless operation of the adjustment mechanism, which is located inside the drum on drum brakes and inside the caliper on disc brakes.
Position of the adjusting nut (arrow) on the handbrake lever side.
Adjusting the handbrake
To adjust the handbrake, adjust the nut on the handbrake lever side, at the location shown in the illustration above. When adjusting, proceed as follows:
1. Place the rear of the car on jack stands and release the handbrake. For safety, place bricks in front of and behind the front wheels to prevent the car from sliding off the jack stands.
2. Press the brake pedal more than 5 times.

3. Apply the handbrake lever 6 - 8 clicks and check that the rear wheels do not turn. Release the handbrake again.
4. Otherwise, tighten the nut on the handbrake lever until the rear wheels do not lock when performing the above check.
5. Apply and release the handbrake and check that both wheels rotate freely and that the brake shoes do not slip on the drum. In the case of disc brakes, the handbrake lever on the rear calipers should return to the stop bolt after the handbrake is released.
6. Check if the handbrake indicator light comes on when the lever is tightened 1-2 clicks.
7. Lower the vehicle to the ground.
