Always set the parking brake fully and make sure that the

gearshift is securely latched in P (Park) (automatic

transmission) or in 1 (First) (manual transmission).

The parking brake is not designed to stop a moving vehicle. However, if

the normal brakes fail, the parking brake can be used to stop your

vehicle in an emergency. Since the parking brake applies only the rear

brakes, the vehicle’s stopping distance will be adversely affected.

Pull the release lever to release the

brake. Driving with the parking

brake on will cause the brakes to

wear out quickly and reduce fuel

economy.

TRANSMISSION OPERATION

Automatic transmission operation

Brake-shift interlock

This vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift interlock feature that prevents

the gearshift from being moved from P (Park) unless the brake pedal is

depressed.

If you cannot move the gearshift out of P (Park) with the brake pedal

depressed:

1. Apply the parking brake, turn ignition key to LOCK, then remove the

key.

2. Insert the key and turn it to OFF. Apply the brake pedal and shift to N

(Neutral).

3. Start the vehicle.

If it is necessary to use the above procedure to move the gearshift, it is

possible that a fuse has blown. Refer to Fuses and relays in the

Roadside emergencies chapter.
