UTION:
When you are doing this check, your vehicle
could begin to move.
You
or others could be
injured and property could be damaged. Make
sure there is room in front
of
your vehicle in case
it begins to roll. Be ready to apply the regular
brake at once should the vehicle begin to move.
Park on
a
fairly steep hill, with the vehicle facing
downhill. Keeping your
foot
on the regular brake,
set
the
parking brake.
To
check the parking brake’s holding ability: With
the engine running and transaxle in NEUTRAL
(N),
slowly remove foot pressure from the regular brake
pedal.
Do
this until the vehicle is held by the parking
brake only.
To
check the PARK (P) mechanism’s holding ability:
With the engine running, shift to PARK (P). Then
release all brakes.
Underbody Flushing Service
At least every spring, use plain water to flush any
corrosive materials from the underbody. Take care to
clean thoroughly any areas where mud and other debris
can collect.
