illuminates with the parking brake
released, have your brake system
serviced immediately.)

Using ABS

When hard braking is required, apply continuous force on the brake
pedal; do not pump the brake pedal since this will reduce the
effectiveness of the ABS and will increase your vehicle's stopping
distance. The ABS will be activated immediately, allowing you to retain
full steering control during hard braking and on slippery surfaces.
However, the ABS does not decrease stopping distance.

Parking brake

To set the parking brake, pull the lever up. To release the parking brake,
make sure the ignition is turned to ON, depress the brake pedal, then
gently push the parking brake lever down.
