Releasing the parking brake

To release the parking brake, first apply

the foot brake and pull up the parking

brake lever slightly. Secondly depress the

release button (1) and lower the parking

brake lever (2) while holding the button.

Check the brake warning light by turning

the ignition switch ON (do not start the

engine). This light will be illuminated

when the parking brake is applied with

the ignition switch in the START or ON

position.

Before driving, be sure the parking brake

is fully released and the brake warning

light is off.

If the brake warning light remains on

after the parking brake is released while

engine is running, there may be a mal-

function in the brake system. Immediate

attention is necessary.

If at all possible, cease driving the vehi-

cle immediately. If that is not possible,

use extreme caution while operating the

vehicle and only continue to drive the

vehicle until you can reach a safe loca-

tion or repair shop.

WARNING

• To prevent unintentional move-

ment when stopped and leaving

the vehicle, do not use the

gearshift lever in place of the

parking brake. Set the parking

brake AND make sure the

gearshift lever is securely posi-

tioned in 1st (First) gear or R

(Reverse) for manual transaxle

equipped vehicles and in P (Park)

for automatic transaxle equipped

vehicles.

• Never allow anyone who is unfa-

miliar with the vehicle to touch

the parking brake. If the parking

brake is released unintentionally,

serious injury may occur.

• All vehicles should always have

the parking brake fully engaged

when parking to avoid inadver-

tent movement of the car which

can injure occupants or pedestri-

ans.
