Park Brake Lever (if equipped)

Always apply the service brakes before engaging or releasing the park brake. To help prevent the vehicle from rolling, set the park brake when parking the vehicle. When the park brake is set and the park brake indicator is illuminated, engine speed is limited. If the accelerator is applied, this limiting feature prevents operation, which protects the park brake pads from excessive wear.
