Parking Brake - Jeep Wrangler2018 Owner's Manual

300 STARTING AND OPERATING
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil
in the engine or damage may result.
NOTE: A new engine may consume some oil during its
first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This
should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not
interpreted as a problem.

PARKING BRAKE

Before exiting the vehicle, make sure that the parking brake
is fully applied. Also, be certain to leave an automatic
transmission in PARK, or manual transmission in RE-
VERSE or FIRST gear.
The parking brake lever is located in the center console. To
apply the parking brake, pull the lever up as firmly as
possible. To release the parking brake, pull the lever up
slightly, push the center button, then lower the lever
completely.
Parking Brake Lever
When the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch
ON, the "Brake Warning Light" in the instrument cluster
will illuminate.
NOTE:
• When the parking brake is applied and the automatic
transmission is placed in gear, the "Brake Warning
Light" will flash. If vehicle speed is detected, a chime
will sound to alert the driver. Fully release the parking
brake before attempting to move the vehicle.
