336 STARTING AND OPERATING
The foot operated parking brake is positioned below the
lower left corner of the instrument panel. To apply the
park brake, firmly push the park brake pedal fully. To
release the parking brake, press the park brake pedal a
second time and let your foot up as you feel the brake
disengage.
Parking Brake
When the parking brake is applied with the ignition
switch in the ON position, the "Brake Warning Light" in
the instrument cluster will illuminate.
NOTE:
• When the parking brake is applied and the automatic
transaxle is placed in gear, the "Brake Warning Light"
will flash. If vehicle speed is detected, a chime will
sound to alert the driver. Fully release the parking
brake before attempting to move the vehicle.
• This light only shows that the parking brake is ap-
plied. It does not show the degree of brake application.
When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the front
wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away
from the curb on an uphill grade. For vehicles equipped
with an automatic transaxle, apply the parking brake
before placing the shift lever in PARK, otherwise the load
on the transaxle locking mechanism may make it difficult
