Always engage the parking brake before leav-
ing the car. 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.
Applying the parking brake
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 recommended that
when parking the vehicle on a gradient, the shift
lever should be positioned in the appropriate low
gear on manual transaxle vehicles or in the P
(Park) position on automatic transaxle vehicles.

CAUTION:
Driving with the parking brake applied will
cause excessive brake pad (or lining) and
brake rotor wear.
Releasing the parking brake
To release the parking brake, first apply the foot
brake and pull up the parking brake lever slightly.
Secondly, depress the release button and lower
the parking brake lever while holding the button.
