128 Driving and Operating
Warning (Continued)
operating sound is produced from the
ABS actuators. This does not indicate any
abnormal condition. Stay calm and
operate the steering wheel properly.
The ABS will neither change the time
required for brake engagement, nor shorten
the braking distance. Sufficient braking
distance must be kept even with ABS.

Parking Brake

The parking brake impacts rear wheels.
The parking brake lever is between two
front-row seats. To operate the parking
brake, stop the vehicle, press the brake
pedal and pull the parking brake lever.
To release the parking brake:
1. Press the brake pedal.
2. Pull back on the parking brake lever
slightly (1).
3. Press the button on the parking brake
lever joint (2).
4. Release the parking brake lever when
holding the button (3).
When parking on downhill or uphill
pavement, pull the parking brake as tightly
as possible.
When parking the vehicle on an uphill
ramp, turn the front wheels away from
the road shoulder.
When parking the vehicle on a downhill
ramp, turn the front wheels toward the
road shoulder.
Shift to Neutral when parking the vehicle
on level ground.
Shift to R (Reverse) when parking the
vehicle downhill.
Shift to 1 (First) when parking the vehicle.
Caution
If the parking brake does not engage
correctly, the vehicle, in some cases (such
as when parking on a slope), may move
by itself due to loss of control, thus
causing danger. Have it adjusted by an
authorized service center, if necessary.
Do not drive the vehicle with the parking
brake not released; otherwise the rear wheel
brake may get overheated or be subject to
premature wear. As a result, you might
need to replace the rear wheel brake; other
components of the vehicle may get
damaged.
