Parking Brake - Buick Enclave 2008 Owner's Manual

Parking Brake

If the ignition is on, the brake system warning light
will come on. See Brake System Warning Light
on page 3-41.
To set the parking brake,
push down the parking
brake pedal down
with your left foot.
Notice: Driving with the parking brake on can
overheat the brake system and cause premature
wear or damage to brake system parts. Make sure
that the parking brake is fully released and the brake
warning light is off before driving.
To release the parking brake, hold the regular brake
pedal down with your right foot. Push down momentarily
on the parking brake pedal with your left foot until you
feel the pedal release, then slowly pull your foot up off
the park brake pedal. If the parking brake is not released
when you begin to drive, the brake system warning light
will be on and a chime will sound warning you that the
parking brake is still on.
If you are towing a trailer and are parking on a hill,
see Towing a Trailer on page 4-29.
