Pull the release lever to release the

brake. Driving with the parking

brake on will cause the brakes to

wear out quickly and reduce fuel

economy.

TRACTION-LOK AXLE (IF EQUIPPED)

This axle provides added traction on slippery surfaces, particularly when

one wheel is on a poor traction surface. Under normal conditions, the

Traction-Lok axle functions like a standard rear axle.

Extended use of other than the manufacturer’s specified size tires on a

Traction-Lok rear axle could result in a permanent reduction in

effectiveness. This loss of effectiveness does not affect normal driving

and should not be noticeable to the driver.

To avoid injury, never run the engine with one wheel off the

ground, such as when changing a tire.

STEERING

Your vehicle is equipped with power steering. Power steering uses energy

from the engine to help steer the vehicle.

To prevent damage to the power steering pump:

• Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme right or the extreme left

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

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

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.
