RWARNING
When parking, do not use the gearshift in
place of the parking brake. Turn the key
to LOCK whenever you leave your
vehicle. 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). Never leave your vehicle
unattended while it is running. If you do
not take these precautions, your vehicle
may move unexpectedly and injure
someone.
[DR13900(M )10/95]
To release the parking brake, pull the handle
upward, push in the button, then lower the
handle. The Brake System warning light will
glow if the parking brake is not fully released
when the engine is running.
*
[DR14200( ALL)03/95]
Always check the Brake Warning Light each
time you start your engine. Driving with the
parking brake on will cause the brakes to wear
out quickly and will reduce the fuel economy.

[DR14300( ALL)01/93]
RWARNING
If the parking brake is fully released, but
the Brake System light remains on, have
the brakes checked immediately. They
may not be working properly.
[DR14400( ALL)07/93]
The parking brake system is designed for static
parking only and is not designed to stop a
moving vehicle, but you can use the parking
brake to stop your vehicle in an emergency if
the normal brakes fail. However, since the
parking brake applies only the rear brakes, the
stopping distance will increase greatly and the
handling of your vehicle will be adversely
affected.
