When you are doing this check, your vehicle
could begin to move. You or others could be
injured and property could be damaged. Make
sure there is room in front
of
your vehicle in case
it
begins to roll. Be ready to apply the regular
brake at once should the vehicle begin to move.

a
fairly steep
hill,
with
the vehicle facing

foot
on the regular brake,
set the parking brake.

the engine running and transmission
in
NEUTRAL

slowly remove foot pressure from
the regular brake pedal.
Do
this
until
the vehicle is
held by the parking brake only.
To check the PARK
(P)
mechanism's holding ability:
With the engine running, shift to PARK
(P).
Then
release
all
brakes.
