Parking Brake - Saturn 2004 L-Series Owner's Manual

Parking Brake

The parking brake lever is located between the
bucket seats.
When parking your vehicle, set the parking brake before
shifting your automatic transaxle into PARK (P).
To set the parking brake, hold the brake pedal down
and pull up on the parking brake lever. If the ignition is
on, the brake system warning light will come on.
To release the parking brake, hold the brake pedal
down. Pull the parking brake lever up until you can press
the release button. Hold the release button in as you
move the brake lever all the way down.
Notice: Driving with the parking brake on can
overheat the brake system and cause premature
wear or damage to brake system parts. Verify that
the parking brake is fully released and the brake
warning light is off before driving.
If you are towing a trailer and parking on a hill, see
