Chevrolet VENTURE 2001 Manual page 166

To release the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal
down with your right foot while you push down on the
parking brake pedal with your left foot. (To release the
tension on the parking brake cable, you will need to apply
about the same amount of pressure to the parking brake
pedal as you did when you set the parking brake.) When
you remove your foot from the parking brake pedal, it will
pop up to the released position.
NOTICE:
Driving with the parking brake on can cause
your rear brakes to overheat. You may have to
replace them, and you could also damage other
parts of your vehicle.
If you are towing a trailer and are parking on any hill,
see "Towing a Trailer" in the Index. That section shows
what to do first to keep the trailer from moving.
Shifting Into PARK (P)
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle if
the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the
parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll.
If you have left the engine running, the vehicle
can move suddenly. You or others could be
injured. To be sure your vehicle won't move, even
when you're on fairly level ground, use the steps
that follow. If you're pulling a trailer, see
"Towing a Trailer" in the Index.
1. Hold the brake pedal down with your right foot and
set the parking brake with your left foot.
