10-26 Vehicle Care
Park Brake and P (Park)
Mechanism Check
WARNING
When you are doing this check,
the vehicle could begin to move.
You or others could be injured
and property could be damaged.
Make sure there is room in front
of the vehicle in case it begins to
roll. Be ready to apply the regular
brake at once should the vehicle
begin to move.
Park on a fairly steep hill, with the
vehicle facing downhill. Keeping
your foot on the regular brake,
set the parking brake.
To check the parking brake's
holding ability: With the engine
running and the transmission in
N (Neutral), slowly remove foot
pressure from the regular brake
pedal. Do this until the vehicle is
held by the parking brake only.
To check the P (Park)
mechanism's holding ability:
With the engine running, shift to
P (Park). Then release the
parking brake followed by the
regular brake.
Contact your dealer if service is
required.

Windshield wiper blades should be
inspected for wear or cracking.

It is a good idea to clean or replace
the wiper blade assembly on a
regular basis or when worn.
For proper windshield wiper blade
length and type, see Maintenance
Replacement Parts on page 11 15.
Notice: Allowing the wiper blade
arm to touch the windshield
when no wiper blade is installed
could damage the windshield.

not be covered by your warranty.
Do not allow the wiper blade arm
to touch the windshield.
