You can easily adjust the parking brake by turning the
knob on the lever. Turning it clockwise makes the brake
grip more tightly. It will also make the lever seem harder
to pull up. Turning the knob counterclockwise makes the
parking brake apply less firmly. Adjust the parking
brake only when the lever is down (released).
If your parking brake doesn't hold the vehicle when
applied, see your GM Truck dealer who can adjust your
parking brake properly.
The PARK BRAKE light will remain illuminated if the
parking brake is not fully released.

To release the parking
brake, first push down the
regular brake pedal. Then,
push the parking brake lever
all the way down and shift
the automatic transmission
to NEUTRAL (N).
NOTICE:
Driving with the parking brake on can overheat
the parts in the system. You may have to replace
them, and you could also damage other parts of
your vehicle.

CAUTION:
It will take a few seconds for the parking brake
to fully apply, and even longer when it is cold
outside. Do not leave your vehicle until the
parking brake applies fully. Without the parking
brake applied, your vehicle is free to move.
It could hit someone or something.
