Pump-to-Set Parking
Brake
The parking brake uses the brakes on the
rear wheels.
To Set the Parking Brake:
Hold the regular brake pedal down with
your right foot. Pump your parking brake
pedal several times with your left foot
until the pedal feels firm. If the ignition is
on, the brake system warning light will
come on.
Over time, more pumps may be needed to
set the parking brake firmly. If it ever
takes more than two full pumps, have the
brake system adjusted by your dealer.
To Release the Parking Brake:
Hold the regular brake pedal down. Pull
the "BRAKE RELEASE" lever.
NOTICE:
Driving with the parking brake on
can cause your rear brakes to
overheat. You may have to replace
them, and you could also damage
other parts of your vehicle.
If You are Towing a Trailer and are
Parking on any Hill: See "Towing a
Trailer" in the Index. That section shows
what to do first to keep the trailer from
moving.
