CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
Parking Brake Lever
NOTE
Your vehicle has either of two types of parking brake.
Center parking brake (hydraulic brake model):
When you pull the parking brake lever, the center parking brake works on the
propeller shaft to lock the rear axle.
Wheel parking brake (full-air brake model):
When you pull the parking brake lever, the wheel parking brake activates the
rear wheel brakes to lock them.

CAUTION
When parking or stopping your vehicle, pull the parking brake lever and make
sure that the vehicle does not start moving.
Avoid parking your vehicle on a slope as much as possible and choose a level
and flat place. If it is unavoidable to park your vehicle on a slope, be sure to set
the parking brake fully, make sure that the vehicle does not move, and block
the wheels with chocks for added safety. Engage the transmission in a gear for
more secure parking.
Do not use the parking brake while the vehicle is in motion except in an
emergency. Applying the parking brake before the vehicle has stopped can
cause the tires to lock or the vehicle to spin, possibly causing an accident.
Unless the parking brake is fully released during driving, a fault and/or a fire
may be caused.
Illumination of the parking brake warning light does not mean that the parking
brake is fully applied. The parking brake lever must be fully pulled up.
After using the parking brake during driving, be sure to check if any failure has
been caused.
