GMC 2005 Savana - Manual (Page 351)

Park on a fairly steep hill, with the vehicle facing
downhill. Keeping your foot on the regular brake, set the
parking brake.
• To check the parking brake’s holding ability: With
the engine running and transmission in
NEUTRAL (N), slowly remove foot pressure from
the regular brake pedal. Do this until the vehicle is
held by the parking brake only.

With the engine running, shift to PARK (P).
Then release the parking brake followed by the
regular brake.
