To apply the parking brake, hold and pull the park brake lever up as firmly
as possible. When the parking brake is applied with the ignition ON, the
brake warning lamp in the instrument cluster illuminates. To release the
parking brake, pull the parking brake lever up slightly, press the release
button on the bottom of the lever and lower the parking brake lever
completely.
The brake warning lamp indicates only the parking brake status. It
does not indicate the degree of brake application. Be sure the
parking brake is firmly set when parked and the gear shift lever is in
gear. When parking on a hill; first apply the parking brake; after that
shift the gear lever to 1st gear. This will avoid the load on the
transmission, locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the
shift lever out of gear.
Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving off.
Failure to do so can lead to brake problems due to excessive
heating of the rear brakes. It will also result in reduced fuel
efficiency; lowered brake pad life and rear brake squeal.
