Parking brake

Depress the pedal. The "PARK BRAKE"
(in Canada "P") indicator lamp in the in-
strument cluster comes on when the ig-
nition key is in position 2.

To release the brake, pull the handle.
Please remember that the brakes disen-
gage immediately.

The parking brake is primarily designed
to prevent the vehicle from rolling while
parked, and operates against the rear
wheels.

If, in exceptional circumstances, it
should be necessary to engage

the parking brake while the vehicle is in
motion, depress the pedal cautiously
and slowly while continuing to pull on
the release handle.
Excessive pressure on the pedal can
lead to overbraking and loss of traction
at the rear.
The brake lamps do not come on when
the parking brake is applied.

You can prevent corrosion from forming
on the separate parking brake drums
with an occasional gentle application of
the parking brake when stopping at
traffic lights.
