Parking on Curbed Streets
• When parking your vehicle on an uphill grade, park
as close to the curb as possible and turn the front
wheels away from the curb so that the front wheels
will contact the curb if the vehicle moves backward.
• When parking your vehicle on a downhill grade,
park as close to the curb as possible and turn the
front wheels toward the curb so that the front wheels
will contact the curb if the vehicle moves forward.
4-21
Check the brake warning light each time you start the
engine. The light is located in the instrument panel.
This warning light will be illuminated when the igni-
tion switch in ON or START and the parking brake is
set.
Before driving, be sure the parking brake is fully
released and the brake warning light is off.
If the brake warning light remains on after the parking
brake is released, there may be a malfunction in the
brake system. Immediate attention is necessary.
If at all possible, cease driving the vehicle immediate-
ly. If that is not possible, use extreme caution in oper-
ating the vehicle and only drive it until you reach the
first safe location or a repair shop.
