Parking Brake
The parking brake pedal is located to the left of the regular brake pedal, near the driver door.
To set the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal down, then push the parking brake pedal down.
If the ignition is on, the brake system warning light on the instrument panel cluster should come on. If it does not, you need to have the vehicle serviced.
A warning chime will sound if the parking brake is set, the ignition is on, and the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h). The brake light will come on and stay on until the parking brake is released. See Brake System Warning Light for more information.
To release the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal down, then push the parking brake pedal down.
When you lift your foot off the parking brake pedal, the pedal will follow your foot to the released position.
Notice: Driving with the parking brake on can overheat the brake system and cause premature wear or damage to brake system parts. Make sure that the parking brake is fully released and the brake warning light is off before driving.
If you are towing a trailer and are parking on any hill, see Towing a Trailer.
