Even when the ABS is disabled,
normal braking is still effective. If
your BRAKE warning lamp
illuminates with the parking brake
released, have your brake system
serviced immediately by an authorized dealer.

Brake over accelerator

This vehicle is equipped with a brake over accelerator feature. In the
event the accelerator pedal becomes stuck or entrapped, applying steady
and firm pressure to the brake pedal will both slow the vehicle and
reduce engine power. If you experience this condition, apply the brakes
and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. Turn the engine off, shift to P
(Park) and apply the parking brake, and then inspect the accelerator
pedal for any interferences. If none are found and the condition persists,
have your vehicle towed to the nearest authorized dealer.

Parking brake

To set the parking brake (1), pull
the parking brake handle up as far
as possible.

The BRAKE warning lamp will
illuminate and will remain
illuminated until the parking brake
is released.

To release, press and hold the button (2), pull the handle up slightly,
then push the handle down.

WARNING: Always set the parking brake fully and make sure
that the gearshift is securely latched in P (Park).
