Driving 105
Parking Brake
To set the parking brake (1) press the parking brake pedal
down until the pedal stops.
To release, pull the lever (2).
When using the parking brake make sure that the parking
brake is set fully and that the gearshift is securely latched in
P (Park) before exiting the vehicle.
REASON: The vehicle could roll if the parking brake is
not fully set or the gearshift is not fully in P (Park).
The BRAKE warning light will illuminate and will remain
illuminated until the parking brake is released.
The parking brake is not recommended to stop a moving vehi-
cle, but if the normal brakes fail, the parking brake can be used
to stop your vehicle in an emergency. Since the parking brake
applies only to the rear brakes, the vehicle’s stopping distance
will increase greatly and the handling of your vehicle will be
adversely affected while braking.
