Adjusting the parking brake drive (Renault Sandero 1)

The parking brake should hold the car on a 25% slope when the lever inside the car is moved by 5-7 teeth (clicks) of the ratchet device. If necessary, the parking brake drive is adjusted from the car interior.

You will need a 13 mm socket head.

1. Remove the floor tunnel lining (see "Removal and installation the floor tunnel lining").



2. Fold forward the plug installed on the parking brake drive lever trim, covering the parking brake drive adjustment unit.



3. By tightening or loosening the adjusting nut, achieve a lever travel of 5-7 clicks.

4. Perform several full strokes of the lever and lower the lever to the stop.
