Cadillac 2008 SRX - Manual (Page 113)

If the ignition is on, the brake system warning light
on the instrument panel cluster should come on.
If it does not, you need to have your vehicle serviced.
See Brake System Warning Light on page 3-38 for
more information.
To release the parking brake, pull the release lever
located to the left of the steering wheel on the
instrument panel.
Notice: Driving with the parking brake on can
overheat the brake system and cause premature
wear or damage to brake system parts. Make
sure that the parking brake is fully released and
the brake warning light is off before driving.
A warning chime will sound if the parking brake is set,
the ignition is on, and the vehicle begins to move.
To stop the chime, fully release the parking brake.
If you are towing a trailer and parking on a hill,
