Parking brake

To set the parking brake (1), press

the parking brake pedal down until

the pedal stops.

To release, pull the lever (2).

Always set the parking

brake fully and make sure

that the gearshift is securely

latched in P (Park).

The BRAKE warning lamp will

illuminate and will remain

illuminated until the parking brake

is released.

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.

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

(If the fluid level is below the FULL COLD range on the dipstick).

If the power steering system breaks down (or if the engine is turned

off), you can steer the vehicle manually, but it takes more effort.

If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:

• an improperly inflated tire

• uneven tire wear

• loose or worn suspension components

• loose or worn steering components

• improper steering alignment

A high crown in the road or high crosswinds may also make the steering

seem to wander/pull.
