Brake pedal

LEFT-HAND DRIVE

REMOVAL

• Remove the driver's side carpet.

• Disconnect the accelerator pedal sensor (1).
• Turn the brake pedal position sensor (1) a quarter turn counterclockwise.
• Remove:

• the brake pedal position sensor,
• the brake pedal yoke pin from the brake booster pushrod,
• the brake pedal yoke mounting nuts (2),
• the brake pedal,
• the accelerator pedal mounting nuts,
• the accelerator pedal.

INSTALLATION

• Refit in the reverse order of removal.
• Tighten the brake pedal yoke mounting nuts to torque (2.1 daN.m).

RIGHT-HAND DRIVE

• Before any work on the airbag system, lock the ECU using the diagnostic tool (Chapter Airbag and Pretensioners).
• Never handle pyrotechnic systems (pretensioners or airbags) near a heat source or flame; there is a risk of deployment.

REMOVAL

• Disconnect the battery, starting with the negative terminal.
• Remove:

• the dashboard (see Dashboard),
• the steering column (see Steering Column).

• Disconnect the connector (1) from the accelerator pedal potentiometer.
• Remove:

• the two accelerator pedal mounting bolts (2),
• the accelerator pedal.

• Remove the four clutch pedal assembly mounting bolts (3).
• Remove the clutch pedal assembly from its housing without disconnecting the lines from the clutch slave cylinder.

CAUTION Do not damage the clutch slave cylinder lines.

• Remove the connecting pin (4) of the "brake pedal - return bar" assembly.
• Remove:

• the five brake pedal assembly mounting bolts (5),
• the brake pedal assembly by pivoting it so that it clears the return bar.

INSTALLATION

The pedal is fitted with a collision release system. Do not strike the system (6) of the pedal (the pedal may depress unexpectedly).

Note: Do not remove the pin before refitting and tightening the pedal assembly.

• Cut the pin along the dotted line.

Before refitting, carefully check the fuse plate (7); it must not be deformed.

Any deformed fuse plate requires replacement of the brake pedal assembly.

• Refit in the reverse order of removal.
• Tighten the brake pedal yoke mounting nuts to torque (2.1 daN.m).
• Remove the pin

Unlock the ECU using the diagnostic tool (Chapter Airbag and Pretensioners).

Connect the battery; carry out the necessary relearn procedures (Chapter Battery).

• Torque the battery cover screws (0.4 daN.m).
