Parking brake

To set the parking brake, press the

parking brake pedal down until the

pedal stops. The BRAKE warning

lamp in the instrument cluster

illuminates and remains illuminated

until the parking brake is released.

To release the brake, pull the

release lever. to prevent the pedal

from releasing too quickly, place

your left foot on the parking brake

pedal, then pull the release lever,

making sure the pedal fully releases.

You may want to pull the release

lever again to make sure the parking

brake is full released.

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).

If you’re parking your vehicle on a grade or with a trailer, press and hold

the brake pedal down, then set the parking brake. There may be a little

vehicle movement as the parking brake sets to hold the vehicle’s weight.

This is normal and should be no reason for concern. If needed, press and

hold the brake pedal down, release the parking brake, then try pushing

the parking brake pedal further down. Chock the wheels if required. If

the parking brake cannot hold the weight of the vehicle, the parking

brake may need to be serviced.

STEERING

To prevent damage to the power steering system:

• Never hold the steering wheel at its furthest turning points (until it

stops) for more than a few seconds when the engine is running.

• Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering pump fluid level

(below the MIN mark on the reservoir).
