Parking Brake and Automatic
Transmission Park
(P) Mechanism
Check
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.
To
check the parking brake’s holding ability: With
the engine running and transmission 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 the parking brake followed by the
regular brake.
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.
Park on a fairly steep hill, with the vehicle facing
downhill. Keeping your foot on the regular brake, set the
parking brake.
