Even when the ABS is disabled,

normal braking is still effective. (If

your BRAKE warning lamp

illuminates with the parking brake

released, have your brake system

serviced immediately.)

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.

Park brake warning chime

Sounds when the parking brake is set, the engine is running, the vehicle

speed is greater than 5 km/h (3 mph), and the transaxle is not in P

(Park) or N (Neutral). The chime will shut off when the parking brake is

disengaged.

TRACTION CONTROLY (IF EQUIPPED)

Your vehicle may be equipped with a Traction Controly system. This

system helps you maintain the stability and steerability of your vehicle,

especially on slippery road surfaces such as snow- or ice-covered roads

and gravel roads. The system will allow your vehicle to make better use

of available traction in these conditions.
