Parking Brake (With Hydraulic
Brakes)
If your vehicle has hydraulic brakes, it has a
parking brake lever. The lever is located in the
center console.
Your vehicle may also be equipped with an
automatic transmission which has a center console
shift lever. This lever will have a PARK (P) position
on the shift indicator. Even when PARK (P) is
selected, be sure to apply the parking brake firmly
so the vehicle will not move.
To apply the parking brake, pull the lever all
the way up. The park brake light will come on
when the parking brake is applied. See Brake
System Warning Light on page 124 for more
information. Then shift the transmission to
NEUTRAL for a manual transmission or PARK (P)
for an automatic transmission. The vehicle must
be stationary when applying the parking brake,
except while burnishing the parking brake linings.
See Parking Brake Burnish Procedure on
page 85 for more information.
Once the parking brake is applied, slowly remove
your foot from the regular brake pedal, while
checking to see if the vehicle moves. If the vehicle
does start to move, press the regular brake pedal
and follow the parking brake burnish procedures.
See Parking Brake Burnish Procedure on page 85
for more information.
If your parking brake still does not set, take your
vehicle dealer/retailer for service.
