•  When transitioning to maintenance mode, the clearance between the rear disc pads and the rear disc plates expands.

•  When the maintenance mode is completed, perform the electric parking brake automatic adjustment.

•  With the electric parking brake automatic adjustment, the electric parking brake motor gear unit operation time is longer than normal.

•  The brake disc outer diameter shown in the figure for 16-inch brake vehicles and 17-inch brake vehicles are as follows.
