BRAKES
Parking brake
Apply the
parking brake
whenever the
vehicle is
parked or left
unattended. To
set the parking
brake, pull up
on the lever
between the
front seats as
far as it will go. The brake status indicator will be
illuminated whenever the parking brake is engaged
and the drive mode selector switch is turned to one
of the run modes.
To release the parking brake, pull up on the handle,
push the button in on the end of the handle, and
lower the handle to the horizontal position. The
brake status indicator will turn off when the parking
brake is fully released and the drive mode selector
switch is turned to one of the run modes.
The parking brake is not recommended to stop a
moving vehicle. However if the normal brakes fail,
the parking brake can be used to stop the vehicle in
an emergency situation. Since the parking brake only
applies the rear brakes, the vehicle’s stopping
distance will greatly increase.
