3 Parking brake effectiveness
Stop the vehicle on a dry downgrade, set the park-
ing brake and check to see if the parking brake can
hold the vehicle. If an appropriate downgrade is not
available, drive the vehicle at 8 km/h (5 mph), then
apply the parking brake and make sure that it works
satisfactorily.
If parking brake performance is in any way abnor-
mal, vehicle operation could be dangerous. Contact
an authorized dealer.
