yellowblue 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. CAUTION: Always shift to PARK (P) before pulling the manual release lever. If your hand or arm is in the way of the pedal you could be hurt. The pedal springs back quickly. Keep your hand and arm away when you use the manual release lever. Be sure to turn off the ignition and put the vehicle in PARK (P) before manually releasing the brake. 2-25
