Getting started Driving Driving Warning! ! G If you hear a warning signal when driving off, you have forgotten to release the parking brake. On slippery road surfaces, never downshift in order to obtain braking action. This could result in drive wheel slip and reduced vehicle control. Your vehicle's ABS will not prevent this type of loss of control. ! Simultaneously depressing the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal reduces engine performance and causes premature brake and drivetrain wear. 1 Parking brake lever 2 Release button Pull up slightly on parking brake lever 1 and press release button 2.
