NOTE: The parking brake lever will not release unless
the lever is pulled up slightly past its applied position.
Parking Brake Lever
When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking
brake. As an added precaution, turn the front wheels
toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the
curb on a uphill grade.
You should always apply the parking brake before leav-
ing the vehicle.
WARNING!
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving
children in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Don't leave the keys in
the ignition. A child could operate power win-
dows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged
before driving; failure to do so can lead to brake
failure and an accident.
