Check the parking brake by depressing the parking brake control pedal. The parking brake must hold the vehicle on an incline, set by applying pressure to the pedal before it reaches full pedal travel to the floor. If not as specified, check the parking brake system for correct rear brake adjustment, cable operation and parking brake control operation.
