Parking Brake

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

If the ignition is on, the brake system warning light 
will come on. See “Brake System Warning Light” in 
the Index.

To release the parking brake, hold the regular brake
pedal down with your right foot while you push down
on the parking brake pedal with your left foot. (To
release the tension on the parking brake cable, you will
need to apply about the same amount of pressure to the
parking brake pedal as you did when you set the parking
brake.) When you remove your foot from the parking
brake pedal, it will pop up to the released position.

NOTICE:

Driving with the parking brake on can cause
your rear brakes to overheat. You may have to
replace them, and you could also damage other
parts of your vehicle.

If you are towing a trailer and are parking on any hill,
see “Towing a Trailer” in the Index. That section will
tell you what to do first to keep the trailer from moving.
