This
vehicle has a

brake pedal. To set the
parking brake, hold
the
regular brake pedal down
with your right foot. Push
down the parking brake
pedal with
yow
left foot.
If
the
ignition is on, the brake system warning light will
come on. The parking brake uses the brakes on the rear
wheels.
To release the parking brake, hold the regular brake
pedal down and push the parking brake pedal with your
left
foot.
This
will
unlock
the
pedal. When
you
lift your
left foot, the
park
brake pedal will follow it to the
released position.
If you
try
to drive away with the parking brake on, the
brake light stays on and a chime sounds until you release
the parking brake
or
recycle the ignition.

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.
