Ford 1996 Bronco Manual page 209

When parking, do not use the gearshift in
place of the parking brake. Turn the key
to LOCK whenever you leave your
vehicle. Always set the parking brake
fully and make sure that the gearshift is
securely latched in P (Park) (automatic
transmission) or in 1 (First) (manual
transmission). Never leave your vehicle
unattended while it is running. If you do
not take these precautions, your vehicle
may move unexpectedly and injure
someone.
When the transfer case is in the N (Neutral)
position, the engine and transmission are
disconnected from the rest of the driveline.
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the
automatic transmission is in P (Park) or the
manual transmission is in gear.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended with
the transfer case in the N (Neutral)
position. Always set the parking brake
fully and turn off the ignition when
leaving the vehicle.
To release the parking brake, press the service
brake pedal with your right foot and pull the
parking brake release lever.
If the parking brake is fully released, but
the Brake System light remains on, have
the brakes checked immediately. They
may not be working properly.
