Parking Brake - Chevrolet Sail Diesel Owner's Manual

92 Driving and Operating
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the
brake pedal down firmly and let ABS
work. You might hear the ABS pump or
motor operating and feel the brake
pedal pulsate, but this is normal.
Braking in Emergencies
ABS allows the driver to steer and
brake at the same time. In many
emergencies, steering can help more
than even the very best braking.

Parking Brake

The parking brake acts on the rear
wheels.
The parking brake lever is positioned
between the front seats.
When using the parking brake, stop the
vehicle, depress the brake pedal and
pull the parking brake lever.
To release the parking brake, depress
the brake pedal, and
1. Pull the parking brake lever slightly.
2. Push the button at the end of the
brake lever.
3. Lower the brake lever while pressing
the button.
If the parking brake is not set
properly, the vehicle may move
suddenly. See your CHEVROLET
retailer if an adjustment is required.
Do not drive with the parking brake
HEX0110-1
on.
This can cause your rear brakes to
overheat or wear out prematurely.
You may have to replace them, and
you could damage other parts of your
vehicle.
Do not park or operate your vehicle
over combustible materials.
They could touch hot exhaust parts
under your vehicle and ignite.
