Parking Brake and Transaxle P (Park) Mechanism Operation
CAUTION:
When performing this check, the vehicle could move suddenly. Personal injury or property damage may result. Make sure there is enough room around the vehicle, in case the vehicle does move. Be ready to apply the regular brake immediately should the vehicle begin to move.
Park on a fairly steep hill with enough room for movement in the downhill direction. To inspect the parking brake, with the engine running and the transaxle in N (Neutral), slowly remove foot pressure from the regular brake pedal, until only the parking brake is holding the vehicle.
To check the automatic transaxle P (Park) mechanism's holding ability, release all brakes after shifting the transaxle to P (Park).
