move the vehicle in gear just a little.

lever is located below the instrument panel to the left of
the steering column. The electric/hydraulic parking
brake knob is located to the right of the steering column.
Your vehicle may also be equipped with an automatic
transmission which has a shift lever. This lever will have

selected with the shift lever, the parking brake is
automatically applied.
