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.)

Parking brake

To set the parking brake (1), press
the parking brake pedal down until
the pedal stops.

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

To release, pull the lever (2).

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

transmission) or in 1 (First) (manual transmission).

STEERING

To prevent damage to the power steering system:
• Never hold the steering wheel at its furthest turning points (until it

stops) for more than a few seconds when the engine is running.

• Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering pump fluid level

(below the MIN mark on the reservoir).
