Parking
Brake
Hold the regular brake
pedal down with your
right
foot
and push down
the parking brake pedal
with your left foot to set
the parking brake. If
the ignition is
on,
the
PARK
BRAKE
indicator
light should come
on.
If
it
doesn’t, you need to have
your vehicle serviced.
If
the parking brake has not been
fully
released and you
try to drive with the parking brake
on,
the PARK
BRAKE indicator light comes on and stays on. See
“Parking Brake Indicator Light“ in the Index for more
information.
When you move out of PARK
(P)
or NEUTRAL (N),
if the engine is running, the parking brake should
release. If
it
doesn’t,
you
can manually release
the
parking brake.
Be sure
to
turn off the ignition and put the vehicle
in
PARK (P) before manually releasing the brake.
Reach under
the
driver’s side
of
the
instrument panel
and pull
on
the manual release lever, which
is
located
above the parking brake pedal. If the parking brake does
not release, you should either drive
to
the nearest service
station or have your vehicle towed.
