•
This light only shows that the parking
brake is applied. It does not show the
degree of brake application.
When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the
front wheels toward the curb on a downhill
grade and away from the curb on an uphill
grade. For vehicles equipped with an automatic
transmission, 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. The parking brake should always be
applied whenever the driver is not in the vehicle.
Manual Transmission — If Equipped
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.
Automatic Transmission — If
Equipped
The foot operated parking brake is located
below the lower left corner of the instrument
panel. To apply the park brake, firmly push the
park brake pedal fully. To release the parking
brake, press the park brake pedal a second
time and let your foot up as you feel the brake
disengage.
WARNING!
•
Never use the PARK position as a substi-
tute for the parking brake. Always apply
the parking brake fully when parked to
guard against vehicle movement and pos-
sible injury or damage.
•
When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the Key Fob from the ignition and lock your
vehicle.
