Hydraulic Parking Brake (optional)
To apply the hydraulic parking brake, pull the yellow knob labeled PARKING BRAKE on the dash panel. In order to release the hydraulic parking brake, the engine must be running (hydraulic pressure is needed to release the brake) and the gear selector must be in the Neutral (N) position. To release the parking brake, push the knob in.
Note: If the gear selector is not in the Neutral (N) position and the parking brake is on, a buzzer will sound to let the driver know to place the gear selector in the Neutral (N) position.
If the ignition key is in the OFF position and the parking brake is not applied, a buzzer will sound to let you know that you should apply the parking brake.
With the engine shut down, the hydraulic pump will actuate with your foot on the brake pedal; this could cause the battery to run down. If the engine is inoperable, see the "Emergency Release of Parking Brake" procedure that follows.
