Parking brake
E00600501588
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a complete
stop, fully apply the parking brake lever sufficient-
ly to hold the vehicle.
To apply the parking brake
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal,
then pull the lever up without pushing the but-
ton at the end of hand grip.
CAUTION
l
When you intend to apply the parking
brake, firmly press the brake pedal to
bring the vehicle to a complete stop be-
fore pulling the parking brake lever.
Pulling the parking brake lever with the
vehicle moving could make the rear
wheels lock up, thereby making the vehi-
cle unstable. It could also make the park-
ing brake malfunction.
NOTE
l
Apply sufficient force to the parking brake
lever to hold the vehicle stationary after the
foot brake is released.
l
If the parking brake does not hold the vehicle
stationary after the foot brake is released,
have your vehicle checked immediately.
To release the parking brake
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal,
then pull the lever up slightly.
2- Push the button at the end of hand grip.
3- Lower the lever fully.
CAUTION
l
Before driving, be sure that the parking
brake is fully released and brake warning
lamp is off.
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overhea-
ted, resulting in ineffective braking and
possible brake failure.
CAUTION
l
If the brake warning lamp does not extin-
guish when the parking brake is fully re-
leased, the brake system may be abnormal.
Have your vehicle checked immediately.
