How do you adjust the parking brake for a 2005 Toyota Highlander?

Answer 1

It is supposed to adjust automatically (from constant usage). If you don't ordinarily use the emergency brake the adjusters might be 'frozen' from dis-use. On an empty parking lot try putting the vehicle in reverse and while keeping a steady foot on the accelerator, back up SLOWLY but steadily and with your left foot pump the brake pedal a few times. If this doesn't work - try doing the same thing only this time pumping the emergencybrake pedal. If neither of these tricks work, you'll have to see your mechanic and get the mechanism freed up.
