Rear brake adjustment

On the cars I've had in the past you adjusted the rear brakes by backing up and tapping the brake pedal. Is this the same method to use with a 2008 Yaris LB? I was told recently that there's another method, setting the parking brake with the brake pedal depressed.

I searched this forum and the internet for the answer to this with no success, so if anyone has a link it will be greatly appreciated. I've only had the car since late January and it didn't come with an owner's manual.

I tried all that too, and called a big Bravo Sierra here on the forum about it. It very well may work that way, it didn't for me.

I finally removed the drums and adjusted the pads that way.
