4 clicks: easily holds the car on a slight incline, but if transmission is in D and engine idling (D5 diesel) car will creep forward
5 clicks: holds the car well on the slight incline, with trans in D just holding the car still
6 clicks (very tight): holds well, even with car in D
I normally engage it to 4 or 5 clicks when I park.
The parking brake pads were replaced 2 years ago

Thats a super description of what your parking brake does SWISS, for comparison purposes, mine is very near the same..... having just had a new footbrake mechanism replaced and everything readjusted.
