NOTE:

• When the parking brake is applied and the transmis-

sion is placed in gear, the “Brake Warning Light” will

flash. If vehicle speed is detected, a chime will sound

to alert the driver. Fully release the parking brake

before attempting to move the vehicle.

• This light only shows that the parking brake is ap-

plied. It does not show the degree of brake application.

When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the front

wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away

from the curb on an uphill grade. For vehicles equipped

with an automatic transmission, apply the parking brake

before placing the shift lever in PARK, otherwise the load

on the transmission locking mechanism may make it

difficult to move the shift lever out of PARK. The parking

brake should always be applied whenever the driver is

not in the vehicle.

Manual Transmission — If Equipped

The foot operated parking brake is positioned below the

lower left corner of the instrument panel. To release the

parking brake, pull the parking brake release handle.
