Parking Brake
• Parking brake must be properly adjusted before use and must be manually readjusted for wear if parking brake
handle or foot lever travel becomes excessive.
• The holding ability of the brake should be tested by stopping on a sloping surface and applying the parking brake
while holding car with the hydraulic foot brake. This should be accomplished both facing up and down hill.
• Do not rely exclusively on the parking brake to hold the car; Curb wheels as recommended by the applicable
diagram and put gear selector in park, or shift into first gear or reverse with a manual transmission.
• Diagram A - When parking facing downhill, turn front
wheels towards the curb or right shoulder. This will keep
from rolling into traffic if the brakes become disengaged.
• Diagram B - Turn the steering wheel to the left so the
wheels are turned towards the road if you are facing
uphill with a curb. The tires will catch the curb if the car
rolls backward.
• Diagram C - When facing uphill without a curb, turn the
wheels sharply to the right. If the vehicle rolls, it will go
off the road rather than into traffic.
• When parking on a hill, always set the parking brake and
move the gear selector into park, or shift into first or
reverse gear if your vehicle has a manual transmission.
