Driving Parking brake To set the parking brake (1), pull the parking brake handle up as far as possible. 2 1 The BRAKE warning lamp will illuminate and will remain illuminated until the parking brake is released. ! P BRAKE To release, press and hold the button (2), pull the handle up slightly, then push the handle down. Always set the parking brake fully and make sure that the gearshift is securely latched in P (Park). If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working properly. See your authorized dealer as soon as possible. TRACTION CONTROL The Traction Control system helps you maintain the stability and steerability of your vehicle, especially on slippery road surfaces such as snow- or ice-covered roads and gravel roads. The system will allow your vehicle to make better use of available traction in these conditions. During Traction Control operation, the traction control active light will illuminate, you may hear an electric motor type of sound coming from the engine compartment, and the engine may not "rev-up" when you push further on the accelerator. This is normal system behavior and should be no reason for concern. 175 2007 Zephyr (378) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
