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.

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).

If the parking brake is fully released, but the
brake warning lamp remains illuminated, the

brakes may not be working properly. See your
dealer or a qualified service technician.

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).

If the power steering system breaks down (or if the
engine is turned off), you can steer the vehicle
manually, but it takes more effort.

If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
• an improperly inflated tire
• uneven tire wear
• loose or worn suspension components
• loose or worn steering components
• improper steering alignment
A high crown in the road or high crosswinds may
also make the steering seem to wander/pull.
