This vehicle has a PUSH TO RELEASE parking brake pedal. To set the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal down with your right foot. Push down the parking brake pedal with your left foot. T release the parking brake, hold the regular brake O pedal down and push the parking brake pedal with your left foot. When you lift your left foot, the parking brake pedal will follow it to the released position. If you try to drive approximately 20 feet (6.1 m) with the parking brake on, the brake light stays on and a chime sounds until you release the parking brake. Notice: Driving with the parking brake on can cause your rear brakes to overheat. You may have to replace them, and you could also damage other parts of your vehicle. If you are towing a trailer and are parking on any hill, see Towing a Trailer on page 4-36. That section explains what to do first to keep the trailer from moving. If the ignition is in RUN or OFF, the brake system warning light willturn on while theparking brake is set. The parking brake uses the brakes on the rear wheels. 2-29
