The BRAKE warning lamp in the

instrument cluster illuminates and

remains illuminated (when the

ignition is turned ON) until the

parking brake is released.

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).

The parking brake is not recommended to stop a moving vehicle.

However, if the normal brakes fail, the parking brake can be used to stop

your vehicle in an emergency. Since the parking brake applies only the

rear brakes, the vehicle’s stopping distance will increase greatly and the

handling of your vehicle will be adversely affected.

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.
