The anti-lock braking system will not
eliminate the risks when:
•
You drive too closely to the vehicle in
front of you.
•
Your vehicle is hydroplaning.
•
You take corners too fast.
•
The road surface is poor.
PARKING BRAKE
WARNING
Always set the parking brake fully and
make sure the transmission is placed
in park (P). Failure to set the parking brake
and engage park could result in vehicle
roll-away, property damage or bodily injury.
Turn the ignition to the lock position and
remove the key whenever you leave your
vehicle.
Apply the parking brake whenever your
vehicle is parked. Press the pedal downward
to set the parking brake. The brake warning
lamp in the instrument cluster will illuminate
and remains illuminated until the parking
brake is released.
To release, pull the brake release lever
located at the lower left side of the
instrument panel.
If you are parking your vehicle on a grade or
with a trailer, press and hold the brake pedal
down, then set the parking brake. There may
be a little vehicle movement as the parking
brake sets to hold the vehicle's weight. This
is normal and should be no reason for
concern. If needed, press and hold the
service brake pedal down, then try
reapplying the parking brake. Chock the
wheels if required. If the parking brake
cannot hold the weight of the vehicle, the
parking brake may need to be serviced or
the vehicle may be overloaded.
HILL START ASSIST
WARNINGS
The system does not replace the
parking brake. When you leave your
vehicle, always apply the parking brake and
shift the transmission into park (P) (automatic
transmission) or first gear (1) (manual
transmission).
You must remain in your vehicle once
you have activated the system.
During all times, you are responsible
for controlling your vehicle, supervising
the system and intervening, if required.
If the engine is revved excessively, or
if a malfunction is detected, the system
will be deactivated.
The system makes it easier to pull away
when your vehicle is on a slope without the
need to use the parking brake.
