Auto-Apply Parking Brake Operation
Use the following instructions to operate the parking brake:
Important: The service brake must always be depressed when shifting from the parking brake (Pb) position.
-
Set by pressing (Pb) on the shift selector.
-
To release the parking brake, depress the service brake and shift from the "Pb" position to any drive gear.
-
Shifting from "Pb" to a drive gear and then to neutral (N) releases the parking brake and places the vehicle in neutral. The "BRAKE" warning light will flash when this procedure is performed.
-
Shifting directly from "Pb" to "N" does not release the parking brake. "Pb" must be depressed, then a drive gear must be selected to release the parking brake. The "BRAKE" warning light will flash and a chime will sound when this procedure is performed.
