PARKING BRAKE

Always engage the parking brake before leav-
ing the vehicle. This also turns on the parking
brake indicator light when the key is in the "ON"
or "START" position. Before driving away, be
sure that the parking brake is fully released and
the indicator light is off.
o To engage the parking brake, first apply the
foot brake and then without pressing the
release button in, pull the parking brake lever
up as far as possible. In addition it is recom-
mended that when parking the vehicle on a
gradient, the shift lever should be positioned
in the appropriate low gear on manual trans-
mission vehicles or in the Park position on
automatic transmission vehicles.
!
CAUTION:
Driving with the parking brake applied will
cause excessive brake pad (or lining) and
brake rotor wear.
o To release the parking brake, first apply the
foot brake and pull up the parking brake lever
slightly. Secondly, depress the release but-
ton and lower the parking brake lever while
holding the button.
