Chrysler 2008 Sebring Convertible - Manual (Page 265)

When parking on a hill, it is important to apply the
parking brake before placing the gear selector lever in
“P” (Park), otherwise the load on the transaxle locking
mechanism may make it difficult to move the selector out
of park. As an added precaution, turn the front wheels
toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the
curb on an uphill grade.
To apply the parking brake, grasp the handle and pull it
upward until you feel resistance. To release the parking
brake, grasp the handle and pull it slightly while pressing
the button on the end of the handle. When the button
drops into the handle (releasing the lock), guide the
handle downward to its stop and then release the button
and the handle.
NOTE:
• The parking brake will not release unless the handle is
pulled upward slightly past its applied position.
