HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES

When the system is operating, the brake pedal will pulse and may travel
further. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal. You may also hear a noise
from the system. This is normal.

The anti-lock braking system will not eliminate the dangers inherent
when:
• You drive too closely to the vehicle in front of you.
• Your vehicle is hydroplaning.
• You take corners too fast.
• The road surface is poor.

PARKING BRAKE

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: Always set the parking brake fully and make sure
that the transmission selector lever is securely latched in position

P (automatic transmission) or position 1 (manual transmission).

To set the parking brake, pull the parking brake handle up as far as
possible.

To release the parking brake:

1. Press and hold the button located at the end of the parking brake
handle.

2. Pull the handle up slightly, then push the handle down.
