Driving Your vehicle has an automatic parking brake release. To release the parking brake: 1. Turn the ignition to the RUN position. 2. Press the brake pedal. 3. Move the gearshifter from the P (Park) position to one of the forward gears (the parking brake will not release automatically when you shift into reverse). The brake pedal must remain pressed while the gearshifter is moved. If the parking brake fails to release after completing this procedure, use the manual parking brake release lever. Pull the lever to manually release the parking brake. HOOD TRACTION CONTROLி (IF EQUIPPED) Your vehicle may be equipped with the optional Traction Control system. This system helps maintain the stability and steerability of your vehicle. It is especially useful on slippery and/or hilly road surfaces. The system operates by detecting and controlling wheel spin. The system borrows many of the electronic and mechanical elements already present in the anti-lock braking system (ABS). 99
