PARKING BRAKE

To set the parking brake, pull the lever up as firmly as
possible. When the parking brake is applied with the
ignition ON, the BRAKE warning light in the instrument
cluster will light.

NOTE:

The BRAKE warning light indicates only that

the parking brake is applied. It does not indicate the
degree of brake application.

NOTE:

If the parking brake is applied and the vehicle is

in motion, the BRAKE warning light will flash and a
chime will sound.

Before leaving the vehicle parked on a hill, you must
make sure the parking brake is fully applied and place
the gear selector in the P (Park) position (automatic
transmission) or first gear (manual transmission). Make
certain the transfer case is in gear. Failure to do so may
cause the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury.
