The parking brake is located to the left of the brake pedal, near the driver's door.

To set the parking brake, hold the brake pedal down with your right foot. Push down the parking brake pedal with your left foot.

To release the parking brake, hold the brake pedal down with your right foot and push the parking brake pedal with your left foot. When you lift your left foot, the parking brake pedal will follow it to the released position.

A warning chime will sound and a brake warning light located on the instrument panel cluster will come on, if the parking brake is set, the ignition is on and the shift lever is not in PARK (P).

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.
