FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Park Brake Lever
To help prevent the vehicle from rolling, engage the park brake when
parking the vehicle. When the park brake is fully engaged and the park
brake indicator is illuminated, engine speed is limited to 1300 RPM in
all gears, including neutral. If throttle is applied, this limiting feature
prevents operation, which protects the park brake pads from excessive
wear.
NOTE: This feature will not operate properly if the park brake connector or
switch (under the hood) malfunctions or becomes disconnected, or if
the switch has moved. Check for disconnection, then see your dealer
promptly if this feature fails to operate properly.
Always apply the service brakes
before engaging or releasing the
park brake.
1. Apply the brakes.
2. Pull the park brake lever
downward as far as possible.
3. To release the park brake,
apply the brakes. Press the
park brake release inward and
move the lever upward as far
as possible.
When the park brake is fully engaged and the park brake indicator is
illuminated, engine speed is limited to 1300 RPM in all gears, including
neutral. If throttle is applied, this limiting feature prevents operation,
which protects the park brake pads from excessive wear.
Inspect and adjust park brake cable tension after the first 25 hours of
operation and every 100 hours thereafter to ensure proper cable tension.
See page 90.
NOTE: This feature will not operate properly if the park brake connector or
switch (under the dash) malfunctions or becomes disconnected, or if
