12Parking Brake Release
Pull the release lever to release the parking brake. Driving with the
parking brake on will cause the brakes to wear out quickly and
reduce fuel economy. The parking brake is not recommended to
stop a moving vehicle. However, if the normal brakes fail, the
parking brake can be used to stop your vehicle in an emergency.
Since the parking brake applies only the rear brakes, the vehicle’s
stopping distance will increase greatly and the handling of your
vehicle will be adversely affected.
11AdvanceTrac™ with Roll Stability Control
By monitoring vehicle speed, lateral acceleration, and intended
direction, the AdvanceTrac™ system provides enhanced traction
and stability on slippery surfaces, or in emergency maneuvers.
The system defaults to on. If your vehicle should become stuck, try
switching the system off by pressing the AdvanceTrac™ button on
the center console. When the system is functioning, a yellow iconwill flash.
10Defrost Windshield
