To release the parking brake, hold the regular
brake pedal down. Pull the parking brake lever up
until you can press in the button at the end of
the lever. Hold the button in as you move
the parking brake lever all the way down.
Notice: Driving with the parking brake on can
overheat the brake system and cause premature
wear or damage to brake system parts. Verify
that the parking brake is fully released and the
brake warning light is off before driving.
If you are towing a trailer and you must park on a
hill, see Towing a Trailer on page 339.
