Parking Brake - Chrysler 300C SRT8 Owner's Manual

194 STARTING AND OPERATING

PARKING BRAKE

When the parking brake is applied with the ignition
switch on, the brake light in the instrument cluster will
turn on.
NOTE: This light only shows that the parking brake is
applied. It does not show the degree of brake application.
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that the parking
brake is fully applied and place the gear selector in the
Park position.
Parking Brake
To release the parking brake, pull out on the parking
brake release located on the left side of the instrument
panel.
Parking Brake Release
When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking
brake before placing the gear selector in Park, otherwise
the load on the transmission locking mechanism may
make it difficult to move the selector out of park. As an
added precaution, turn the front wheels toward the curb
on a downhill grade and away from the curb on a uphill
grade.
