CAUTION
Never drive while the parking brake is set because this will cause
unnecessary wear on the brake linings. Before starting to drive,
always make sure that the parking brake has been fully released.
To set the parking brake, press the brake pedal firmly and hold it down
while fully pulling up the parking brake lever.
To release the parking brake, pull the lever up slightly, press the release
button, then lower the lever while keeping the button pressed.
When the parking brake is set while the engine is running, the parking
brake warning light comes on. After starting the vehicle, be sure that the
warning light has gone out before the vehicle is driven. Refer to Warning
and Indicator Lights section (Chapter 3).
