The brake light in the instrument cluster will turn on
when the parking brake is applied and the ignition
switch is on.
NOTE: This light only shows that the parking brake is
applied. It does not show the degree of brake application.
WARNING!
•
Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving
children in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Don’t leave the keys in
the ignition. A child could operate power win-
dows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
•
Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged
before driving: failure to do so can lead to brake
failure, and an accident.
