Parking brake<br />

61n<br />

Depress <strong>the</strong> pedal. The "PARK BRAKE"<br />

(in Canada "P") indicator lamp in <strong>the</strong> instrument<br />

cluster comes on when <strong>the</strong> ignition<br />

key is in position 2.<br />

To release <strong>the</strong> brake, pull <strong>the</strong> handle.<br />

Please remember that <strong>the</strong> brakes disengage<br />

immediately.<br />

The parking brake is primarily designed<br />

to prevent <strong>the</strong> <strong>vehicle</strong> from rolling while<br />

parked, and operates against <strong>the</strong> rear<br />

wheels.<br />

If, in exceptional circumstances, it<br />

should be necessary to engage<br />

<strong>the</strong> parking brake while <strong>the</strong> <strong>vehicle</strong> is in<br />

motion, depress <strong>the</strong> pedal cautiously<br />

and slowly while continuing to pull on<br />

<strong>the</strong> release handle.<br />

Excessive pressure on <strong>the</strong> pedal can<br />

lead to overbraking and loss of traction<br />

at <strong>the</strong> rear.<br />

The brake lamps do not come on when<br />

<strong>the</strong> parking brake is applied.<<br />

You can prevent corrosion from <strong>for</strong>ming<br />

on <strong>the</strong> separate parking brake drums<br />

with an occasional gentle application of<br />

<strong>the</strong> parking brake when stopping at<br />

traffic lights.<br />
