PARKING BRAKE

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.

NOTE:

The “Brake Warning Light” will come on and

flash to indicate that the parking brake is applied. You
must be sure that the parking brake is fully applied
before leaving the vehicle.

Be sure the parking brake is firmly set when parked and
the shift lever is in the PARK position. When parking on
a hill, you should 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.
