Parking brake
When parking, firmly apply the parking
brake to avoid inadvertent creeping.
To set: Pull up the lever. For better hold-
ing power, first depress the brake pedal
and hold it while setting the parking
brake.
To release: Pull up the lever slightly (1),
press the lock release button (2), and
lower (3).
To remind you that the parking brake is
set, the parking brake reminder light in
the instrument panel remains on until you
release the parking brake.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure the parking
brake is fully released and the park-
ing brake reminder light is off.
The tire pressure warning system is
designed to provide warning when tire
pressure of any one of the tires is
critically reduced while the vehicle is
moving. The low tire pressure warning
light comes on to inform you that
such low tire pressure may hamper
driving.
This system is not designed to operate
when the vehicle is stopped. Therefore,
check the tire pressures regularly. The
recommended cold tire pressures, tire
size and the vehicle capacity weight are
on the tire pressure label. (For instruc-
tion, see "Checking tire pressure" in Sec-
tion 8−2.)
