Brake Light Adjustment
If your model is equipped with a mechanical brake light
switch, perform the following procedure to check the rear
brake light for proper operation before each use of the
vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition key on.
2. Lightly apply and release the foot brake several times.
A properly operating rear brake light will immedi-
ately flash on and off with each movement of the
brake pedal.
3. If the light does not operate properly, grasp the switch
body with a pliers or similar tool and hold it lightly,
but securely. Using a wrench, rotate the adjustment
nut clockwise to increase tension on the spring.
NOTE: Rotate the adjusting nut counter-clockwise to decrease tension on the spring if the brake light
comes on when there is no pressure on the brake pedal.
4. Recheck and readjust as needed until the brake light operates properly.
