How easy is it to adjust the parking brake. Mine is a little loose. Does anyone have instructions? Thanks in advance.

The parking brake uses two drum brakes that are on the inside of the rear brake rotors. There is a typical drum brake adjustment (for the shoes) on each rear rotor. Adjust with a large screwdriver through the hole in the rotor hub (wheel off). Rotate the adjustment until the rotor can not be turned then back off 5 clicks (rotor should turn freely).

The parking brake cable is adjusted in the center console by removing the plastic plate in the storage bin. Using two wrenches release the lock nut and then tighten the nuts to adjust the cable. A correct adjustment will NOT actuate the parking until 5th click. Anything may cause the brake shoes to drag and cause premature wear on the parking brake shoes. Don't forget to tighten the lock nut again when your adjustment is complete.
