The BRAKE warning lamp in the

instrument cluster illuminates and

remains illuminated (when the

ignition is turned ON) until the

parking brake is released.

Always set the parking brake fully and make sure that the

gearshift is securely latched in P (Park).

The parking brake is not recommended 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 increase greatly and the

handling of your vehicle 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.

ADVANCETRAC姟 STABILITY ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM

(IF EQUIPPED)

The AdvanceTrac娂 system provides a stability enhancement feature as

well as a traction enhancement feature. It helps your vehicle maintain

traction, when driving on slippery and/or hilly road surfaces, by detecting

and controlling wheel spin. Excessive wheel spin is controlled by

momentarily reducing engine power and rapidly applying the anti-lock

brakes. The system is a driver aid which makes your vehicle easier to

handle primarily on snow and ice-covered roads.

If your vehicle should become stuck in deep snow or mud, try switching

the AdvanceTrac娂 system off by pressing the AdvanceTrac娂 button.

This will allow your tires to “dig” for traction.

If the AdvanceTrac娂 system is activated excessively in a short period of

time, the brake portion of the system will shut down to allow the brakes
