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) (automatic

transmission) or in 1 (First) (manual transmission).

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.

STEERING

Your vehicle is equipped with power steering. Power steering uses energy

from the engine to help steer the vehicle.

To prevent damage to the power steering pump:

• Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme right or the extreme left

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).

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.
