Parking Brake
The parking brake pedal is located
to the left of the driver's left foot.
To set the parking brake, hold the
regular brake pedal down with
your right foot and then push
down the parking brake pedal
with your left foot.
If the ignition is on, the Brake
System Warning light should turn
on.
If you begin to drive while the
parking brake is not yet released,
the brake system warning light will
flash and a chime will sound to
alert you.
See "Brake System Warning Light"
in Section 1.
NOTICE
Do not drive with the parking
brake set.
Driving with the parking brake
on can cause the brake system
to overheat and may result in
premature wear or damage to
brake system components.
Always check that the parking
brake is fully released before
you begin to drive.
If your vehicle is equipped with a
parking brake release handle on
the instrument panel, hold the
regular brake pedal down with
your right foot and pull the
parking brake handle to release
the parking brake.
If your vehicle does not have a
parking brake release handle, push
the brake pedal down with your
right foot and the parking brake
pedal down with your left foot.
When you lift your left foot up, the
parking brake will release.
If you park your vehicle on a
grade, set the parking brake
before shifting the automatic
transmission into P (Park).
