Parking Brake

WARNING

Before leaving the driver's seat, always
switch the ignition to OFF, set the
parking brake and make sure the shift
lever is in P (automatic transmission) or
in 1st gear or R (manual transmission):

It is important to switch the ignition
to OFF even if you are not removing
the key from the ignition or leaving
the vehicle. Leaving the key in other
positions will disable some of the
vehicle security systems and run the
battery down.
Leaving the driver's seat without
switching the ignition to OFF, setting
the parking brake and shifting the
shift lever to P (automatic
transmission) or to 1st gear or R
(manual transmission) is dangerous.
Unexpected vehicle movement could
occur. This could cause an accident.

CAUTION

Driving with the parking brake on
will cause excessive wear of the brake
parts.

NOTE

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

Setting the parking brake

Depress the brake pedal and then firmly
pull the parking brake lever fully upwards
with sufficient force to hold the vehicle in
a stationary position.

Releasing the parking brake

Depress the brake pedal and pull the
parking brake lever upwards, then press
the release button. While holding the
button, lower the parking brake lever all
the way down to the released position.
