PARKING BRAKE 

The parking brake lever is located to the right of the driver’s seat.

•

To set the parking brake, completely stop the vehicle. Then hold
the brake pedal down while pulling the parking brake lever all the
way up. Before you leave the driver’s seat, follow the steps under
“Parking” in this Section.

•

To release the parking brake, hold the brake pedal down while
pushing the button in the tip of the brake lever and lower the lever.
The “BRAKE” system warning light is designed to remind you if the
parking brake is not released when the engine control switch is on.
Never drive the vehicle with the parking brake set as this will cause
excessive wear, reduce parking brake effectiveness and increase
fuel consumption.

•

If you notice the parking lever travel has increased over time, this
means the cable adjustment must be checked by a qualified
technician. Adjustment may be required due to parking brake shoe
wear.
