NOTE:

• When the parking brake is applied and the transmis-

sion is placed in gear, the “Brake Warning Light” will

flash. If vehicle speed is detected, a chime will sound

to alert the driver. Fully release the parking brake

before attempting to move the vehicle.

• This light only shows that the parking brake is ap-

plied. It does not show the degree of brake application.

When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the front

wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away

from the curb on an uphill grade. Apply the parking

brake before placing the shift lever/gear selector in

PARK, otherwise the load on the transmission locking

mechanism may make it difficult to move the shift

lever/gear selector out of PARK. The parking brake

should always be applied whenever the driver is not in

the vehicle.

WARNING!

Never use the PARK position as a substitute for the

parking brake. Always apply the parking brake
fully when parked to guard against vehicle move-
ment and possible injury or damage.

When leaving the vehicle, always remove the Key

Fob from the ignition and lock your vehicle.

Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to
be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal
or the shift lever/gear selector.
