slowly remove foot pressure from the regular brake
pedal. Do this until the vehicle is held by the parking
brake only.

Underbody Flushing Service
At least every spring, use plain water to flush any
corrosive materials from the underbody. Take care to
clean thoroughly any areas where mud and other debris
can collect.
