Parking Brake 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 with the parking brake on, the PARK BRAKE indicator light comes on and stays on. See "Parking 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. Be sure to turn off the ignition and put the vehicle in PARK (P) before manually releasing the brake. Reach under the driver's sideof 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, you should either driveto the nearest service station or have your vehicle towed. 2-25
