WARNING!

Fluid level should be checked on a level surface and
with the engine off to prevent injury from moving
parts and to ensure accurate fluid level reading. Do
not overfill. Use only manufacturers recommended
power steering fluid.

If necessary, add fluid to restore to the proper indicated
level. With a clean cloth, wipe any spilled fluid from all
surfaces. For correct fluid type, refer to ”Power Steering
Reservoir” under “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine
Parts” in this section.

PARKING BRAKE

When the parking brake is applied with the ignition
switch ON, the brake light in the instrument cluster will
turn on.

NOTE:

This light only shows that the parking brake is

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

Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that the parking
brake is fully applied and place the gear selector lever in
the PARK position. To release the parking brake, depress
the emergency break pedal a second time and let your
foot up as you feel the brake disengage.
