Parking Brake

Setting the parking brake

Depress the brake pedal, then pull the 
brake handle fully upward.

Releasing the parking brake

Depress the brake pedal, then pull the 
handle up and press the button. Lower the 
handle all the way down while holding in 
the button.

Driving with Wet Brakes:
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous. 
Increased stopping distance or the 
vehicle pulling to one side when 
braking could result in a serious 
accident. Light braking will indicate 
whether the brakes have been 
affected. Dry the brakes by driving 
very slowly and applying the brakes 
lightly until brake performance is 
normal.

Driving with the parking brake on will 
cause excessive wear of the brake 
linings or pads.

NOTE

For parking in snow, refer to Winter 
Driving (page 4-9) regarding parking 
brake use.
