Your vehicle has an automatic
parking brake release. To release
the parking brake:
1. Turn the ignition to the RUN
position.
2. Press the brake pedal.
3. Move the gearshifter from the P
(Park) position to one of the
forward gears (the parking brake
will not release automatically when
you shift into reverse). The brake
pedal must remain pressed while
the gearshifter is moved.
If the parking brake fails to release
after completing this procedure,
use the manual parking brake
release lever.
Pull the lever to manually release
the parking brake.
TRACTION CONTROL
Y
(IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
the optional Traction Control
y
system. This system helps maintain
the stability and steerability of
your vehicle. It is especially useful
on slippery and/or hilly road
surfaces. The system operates by
detecting and controlling wheel
spin. The system borrows many of
the electronic and mechanical
elements already present in the
anti-lock braking system (ABS).
