Parking Brake Burnish Procedure
All vehicles which have hydraulic brakes will have a
parking brake. It is recommended that the parking
brake be burnished as part of the new vehicle
break-in. The parking brake will work best after it
has been burnished following these instructions:
1. Making sure that there is no other traffic
around, get the vehicle speed up to 20 mph
(32 km/h) and pull up to apply the parking
brake. Let the vehicle come to a complete stop.
Apply the base brakes and disengage the
parking brake.
2. Repeat the burnishing procedure in Step 1 a
total of 10 times
3. Between stops, drive the vehicle about
2 1 ⁄
2
miles (4 km)
Notice: Driving with the parking brake on can
damage the transmission and brake system
parts. Verify that the parking brake is fully
released and the brake warning light is
off before driving.

HAS Series single-axle air suspension which
is designed for a single-axle on-highway use.
