The BRAKE warning lamp in the
instrument cluster illuminates and
remains illuminated (when the
ignition is turned ON) until the
parking brake is released.
Always set the parking
brake fully and make sure
the gearshift is latched in P
(Park). Turn off the ignition
whenever you leave your vehicle.
The parking brake is not designed to stop a moving vehicle. However, if
the normal brakes fail, the parking brake can be used to stop your
vehicle in an emergency. Since the parking brake applies only the rear
brakes, the vehicle’s stopping distance will increase greatly and the
handling of your vehicle will be adversely affected.
To release the parking brake:
1. Turn the ignition to the RUN position.
2. Press the brake pedal.
3. Move the gearshifter from the P (Park) position to R (Reverse) or one
of the forward gears. The brake pedal must remain pressed while the
gearshifter is moved.
If the parking brake fails to release
after completing this procedure, use
the manual parking brake release
lever located on the floor between
the driver’s seat and the door.
Pull the lever up and push rearward
to manually release the parking
brake.
