Parking Brake - Chevrolet Beat Petrol Owner's Manual

98 Driving and Operating
Brake Assist
If the brake pedal is depressed quickly
and forcefully, maximum brake force is
automatically applied (full braking).
Maintain steady pressure on the brake
pedal for as long as full braking is
required. Maximum brake force is
automatically reduced when the brake
pedal is released.

Parking Brake

Always apply parking brake firmly
without operating the release button,
and apply as firmly as possible on a
downhill or uphill slope.
To release the parking brake, pull the
lever up slightly, press the release
button and fully lower the lever.
To reduce the operating forces of the
parking brake, depress the foot brake at
the same time.
See Brake system warning light on page
66.
Warning
If the parking brake is not set
properly, the vehicle may move
suddenly. See your CHEVROLET
retailer if an adjustment is required.

This can cause your rear brakes to
overheat or wear out prematurely.

you could damage other parts of your
vehicle.
Caution

over combustible materials.
They could touch hot exhaust parts
under your vehicle and ignite.
