The parking brake lever is located between
the seats. To set the parking brake, hold
the brake pedal down and pull the parking
brake lever all the way up. To release the
parking brake, hold the brake pedal down,
pull up slightly on the parking brake lever,
push the button on the end of the lever
with your thumb, and lower the lever to its
original position.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
For automatic transaxle or TCSS vehicles,
always set the parking brake before mov-
ing the gearshift lever to the "P" (PARK)
position. If you park on an incline and shift
into "P" before setting the parking brake,
the weight of the vehicle may make it diffi-
cult to shift out of "P" when you are ready
to drive the vehicle.
When preparing to drive the vehicle, move
the gearshift lever out of the "P" position
before releasing the parking brake.
WARNING
• Never drive your vehicle with the
parking brake on: rear brake effec-
tiveness can be reduced from over-
heating, brake life

shortened, or permanent brake
damage may result.
• If the parking brake does not hold
the vehicle securely or does not
fully release, have your vehicle
inspected immediately by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer.
