The BRAKE warning lamp in the

instrument cluster illuminates and

remains illuminated (when the

ignition is turned ON) until the

parking brake is released.

WARNING: Always set the parking brake fully and make sure

that the gearshift is securely latched in P (Park) (automatic

transmission) or in 1 (First Gear) (manual transmission).

NOTE: 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.

To release the parking brake, the

brake handle may need to be pulled

up slightly to release pressure

before pushing in the button.

Push the button on the end of

the parking brake handle and

push the handle down as far as

possible. Driving with the

parking brake applied will cause

the brakes to wear out quickly

and reduce fuel economy.

STEERING

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

from the engine to decrease the driver’s effort in steering 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 the 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, the condition could be caused by any of

the following:

• Underinflated tire(s) on any wheel(s)
