foot on the regular brake, set the parking brake.
To check the parking brake: With the engine running and transmission

pedal.
Do this until the vehicle is held by the parking brake only.
To check the PARK (P) mechanism’s holding ability: Shift to PARK
(P). Then release all brakes.

guide loops and anchors. Have a belt assembly replaced if the webbing has
been cut or otherwise damaged.

rmed at
least twice a year (for instance, each spring and fall). You should let your
GM dealer’s service department or other qualified service center do these
jobs. Make sure any necessary repairs are completed at once.
Steering and Suspension Inspection
Inspect the front and rear suspension and steering system for damaged,
loose or missing parts, signs of wear, or lack of lubrication. Inspect power
steering lines
and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing,
etc. (On vehicles equipped with manual steering gear, check for seal
leakage
.) Lubricate the steering linkage.
