verify that the brake lamps are
working.

be taking the vehicle out of park

To avoid unwanted vehicle movement,
always fully set the parking brake prior to
doing this procedure. Use wheel chocks
if appropriate.
If the parking brake is fully released,
but the brake warning lamp remains
illuminated, the brakes may not be working
properly. See your authorized dealer.
