The parking brake is applied when the parking brake lever is lifted. To release the parking brake, pull the lever up slightly and, pressing the button at the end of the lever, lower the lever.
Caution! Always pay attention to the brake system warning light before starting to move. When the ignition and parking brake are on, the lamp should light. Driving with the parking brake on results in increased fuel consumption and rapid wear of the brake pads.
Caution! Never leave a vehicle with the engine running unattended. Apply the parking brake and move the selector lever to the "P" position (automatic transmission), and the gear shift lever (manual transmission) to position "R" (reverse), stop the engine and lock the doors when you leave the car.
