The parking brake is located near the bottom of the instrument panel on the driver's side of the vehicle.

To set the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal down with your right foot. Push down the parking brake pedal with your left foot. If the ignition is on, the brake system warning light will come on.

Notice: Driving with the parking brake on can overheat the brake system and cause premature wear or damage to brake system parts. Make sure that the parking brake is fully released and the brake warning light is off before driving.

To release the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal down. Pull the BRAKE RELEASE lever fully. It is located on the bottom off the instrument panel on the driver's side of the vehicle.
