Parking Brake

The parking brake pedal
is located to the left of
the regular brake pedal,
near the driver’s door.

To set the parking brake, hold the regular brake
pedal down with your right foot and push the
parking brake pedal down with your left foot.

If the ignition is on, the brake system warning light
on the instrument panel cluster should come
on. If it does not, you need to have your vehicle
serviced.

A warning chime will sound if the parking brake is
set, the ignition is on, and the vehicle speed is
greater than 5 mph (8 km/h). The brake light will
come on and stay on until the parking brake is
released. See

Brake System Warning Light on

page 201

for more information.

To release the parking brake, hold the regular
brake pedal down with your right foot and push
the parking brake pedal down with your left
foot. When you lift your left foot, the parking
brake pedal will follow it to the released position.

Notice:

Driving with the parking brake on

can overheat the brake system and cause
premature wear or damage to brake system
parts. Verify that the parking brake is fully
released and the brake warning light is
off before driving.

If you are towing a trailer and are parking on any
hill, see
