Parking Brake - GMC 1999 Suburban Owner's Manual

Parking Brake

To set the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal
down with your right foot. Push down the parking brake
pedal with your left foot.
If the ignition is on, the brake system warning light will
come on.
If the ignition is on when the parking brake is released,
the brake system warning light will go off.
To release the parking
brake, hold the regular
brake pedal down. Pull the
lever, located just above the
parking brake pedal,
marked BRAKE
RELEASE, to release the
parking brake.
NOTICE:
Driving with the parking brake on can cause
your rear brakes to overheat. You may have to
replace them, and you could also damage other
parts of your vehicle.
If you are towing a trailer and are parking on any hill,
see "Towing a Trailer" in the Index. That section shows
what to do first to keep the trailer from moving.
