BRAKE > Stop Light Switch
ADJUSTMENT
1. BULB TYPE
CAUTION:
• Turn the stop light switch clockwise when installing so that it can return backward by approximately 1 mm (0.04 in) and clearance is automatically adjusted.
• If it is hard to turn the switch, reduce the switch pushing force and turn it again.
• After adjustment, if the pedal stroke is less than 3 mm (0.12 in), it may lead to an incorrect light illumination by vibrations etc.
1. Mark the threaded portion of the stop light switch (a).

2. Measure the brake pedal stroke which turns on the stop light switch.
(1) Measure the distance (a) from the floor mat to the end of brake pedal pad.
(2) Hold the pedal to a position that the stop light illuminates, and measure the distance (b) from the floor mat to the end of brake pedal pad.
(3) Calculate the difference (stroke value) between the values (a) and (b) measured as above.

3. Adjust so that the calculated difference of stroke value fit within the specified value, and install the stop light switch.
Specification:
3 mm (0.12 in) or more, less than 8 mm (0.31 in)
NOTE:
Pedal stroke volume per a pitch becomes approx. 5 mm (0.2 in).

4. After adjustment, make sure that the stop light switch illuminates normally.
2. LED TYPE
1. While pulling up the brake pedal (c) toward you, insert the switch - stop light (a) until it reaches the stopper (b).
2. Install the switch - stop light by turning it clockwise.
CAUTION:
Turn the stop light switch clockwise when installing so that it can return backward by approximately 1 mm (0.04 in) and clearance is automatically adjusted.
Insert until it contacts the stopper, and make sure that clearance (A) of the end of stop light switch and the stopper is 1 mm — 2 mm (0.04 in — 0.08 in).
