ability: With the engine running and tran-
saxle in NEUTRAL (N), slowly remove
foot pressure from the regular brake
pedal. Do this until the vehicle is held by
the parking brake only. To check the PARK (P) mechanism’s
holding ability: With the engine running,
shift to PARK (P). Then release the
parking brake followed by the regular
brake.
Contact your dealer if service is required.

On-Board Vehicle Computers
and Event Data RecordersYour vehicle, like other modern motor
vehicles, has a number of sophisti-
cated computer systems that monitor
and control several aspects of the
vehicle’s performance. Your vehicle
uses on-board vehicle computers to
monitor emission control components
to optimize fuel economy, to monitor
conditions for airbag deployment and,
if so equipped, to provide anti-lock
braking and to help the driver control
the vehicle in difficult driving situa-
tions. Some information may be stored
during regular operations to facilitate
repair of detected malfunctions; other
information is stored only in a crash
event by computer systems, such as
those commonly called event data
recorders (EDR).
In a crash event, computer systems,
such as the Airbag Sensing and Diag-
nostic Module (SDM) in your vehicle
may record information about the con-
dition of the vehicle and how it was
operated, such as data related to
engine speed, brake application, throt-
tle position, vehicle speed, safety belt
usage, airbag readiness, airbag per-
formance, and the severity of a colli-
sion. This information has been used
to improve vehicle crash performance
