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.

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).

Your brake handle may

need to be pulled up

slightly to release

pressure before

pushing in the button.

Push the button on the

end of the parking

brake and push the handle down as far as possible

to release the brake. Driving with the parking brake

on will cause the brakes to wear out quickly and

reduce fuel economy.

TRACTION CONTROLY (IF EQUIPPED)

Your vehicle may be equipped with the optional

Traction Controly system. This system helps you

maintain the stability and steerability of your

vehicle. It is especially useful on slippery and/or hilly

road surfaces. The system operates by detecting and

controlling wheel spin. The system borrows many of

the electronic and mechanical elements already

present in the anti-lock braking system (ABS).

Wheel-speed sensors allow excess rear wheel spin to

be detected by the Traction Controly portion of the

ABS computer. Any excessive wheel spin is

controlled by automatically applying and releasing

the rear brakes in conjunction with engine torque

reductions. Engine torque reduction is realized via
