Kia Forte: Chassis / Parking Brake
Repair procedures
Check whether the stroke is within specification when the parking brake lever
is depressed with 44 lbf, 196 N(20 kgf) of force. Also, the parking brake alone
should securely hold the vehicle on a fairly steep grade. If the stroke is more
or less than specified, have the parking brake adjusted by an authorized Kia dealer.
