Parking Brake

The parking brake pedal is located
to the left of the regular brake
pedal, near the driver door.
To set the parking brake, hold the
regular brake pedal down, then push
the parking brake pedal down to
its fully-applied position.
A chime will sound and the brake
warning light will flash when the
parking brake is applied and
the vehicle is moving at least 3 mph
(5 km/h) for at least three seconds.
See Brake System Warning Light
on page 3-27.
To release the parking brake, hold
the regular brake pedal down. Pull
the park brake release lever, located
above the parking brake pedal.
Notice: Driving with the parking
brake on can overheat the
brake system and cause
premature wear or damage to
brake system parts. Make
sure that the parking brake is
fully released and the brake
warning light is off before driving.
If you are towing a trailer and are
parking on a hill, see Towing a
Trailer on page 4-42.
