To apply the parking brake, pull the park brake lever up as firmly as
possible. When the parking brake is applied with the ignition ON, the
brake warning lamp in the instrument cluster illuminates. To
release the parking brake, pull the parking brake lever up slightly,
press the release button on the lever tip and lower the parking
brake lever completely.
The brake warning lamp indicates only the parking brake status.
It does not indicate the degree of brake application. Be sure the
parking brake is firmly set when parked and the gear shift lever
is in gear. When parking on a hill ; first apply the Parking brake ;
after that shift the TGS lever to the P position (for AT) and gear
for MT. T his will avoid the load on the transmission locking
mechanism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of
gear.
Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving off.
Failure to do so can lead to brake problems due to excessive
heating of the rear brakes. It will also result in reduced fuel
efficiency; lowered brake pad life and rear brake squeal.
• The parking brake should be adjusted as per recommended
maintenance schedule
• Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle, and
be certain to leave the transmission in gear. Failure to do so
may allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage, hit a
bystander resulting in personal injury.

number of reasons. Children should be warned not to touch
the parking brake or the gear shift lever. Do not leave the key
in the ignition. A child could move the vehicle leading to

is not in the vehicle.
