the yellow tab as shown by the arrow in the illustration.
If the parking brake does not release, you should
have your vehicle towed to your dealer for service.
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 a hill, see
Towing
a
Trailer on page
4-34.
It
can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle
if
the shift lever
is
not fully in
PARK
(P)

the parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can
roll. If you have left the engine running, the
vehicle can move suddenly. You or others
could be injured.
To
be sure your vehicle won’t
move, even when you’re on fairly level ground,
use the steps that follow. If you’re pulling
a
trailer, see “Towing a Trailer” in the Index.
