Hold the regular brake
pedal down with your right
foot and
push down the
parking brake pedal with
your
left foot to set the
parking brake. If the
ignition is
on. the PARK
BRAKE
indicator light
should come
on. If it
doesn’t, you need to have
your vehicle serviced.
If the parking brake has not been fully released and
you try to drive off with the parking brake on. the
PARK BRAKE indicator light comes on and stays on.
See ’bParking Brake Indicator Light” in the Index for
more information.
When
you move out of PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N),
if the engine is running, the parking brake should
release.
If it doesn’t. you can manually release the
parking brake. Reach under
the driver’s side of the
instrument panel
and pull
on the manual release lever, which is located
above the parking brake pedal. If the parking brake does
not release,

cruise control:
0
0 Push in the button at the end of the lever until you
reach a desired lower speed, then release it. A
CRUISE ENGAGED message will then display.

Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When
you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow
down
to the cruise control speed you set earlier.
How well your cruise control will work on hills depends
upon your speed, load and the steepness of the hills.
When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the
accelerator pedal
to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift
to a lower gear
to keep your speed down. Of c.ourse, applying the brakes
or downshifting into
FIRST (1) takes you out of cruise
control. Many drivers find this to be
too much trouble
and don't use cruise control
on steep hills.
There are two ways
to end cruise control:
0 Step lightly on the brake pedal.
0 Move the CRUISE switch to OFF.
The cruise control set speed memory is erased when you
turn off the cruise control or the ignition.
