the instrument panel will come on
when the lever is pulled up. Before
you leave the driver's seat, follow
the steps under Parking, or Leaving

the brake pedal down while pushing
the release button of the parking

parking brake indicator light in the
instrument panel will go out.

counting the clicks produced as the
lever engages ratchet plate notches
to check that it can be raised the
proper amount and the lever is held
firmly.
