The parking brake is applied when the parking brake lever is lifted. To release the parking brake, pull the lever up a little and, by pressing the button at the end of the lever, lower the lever.
Attention! Every time before you start driving, pay attention to the brake system warning lamp. With the ignition and parking brake on, the lamp should be on. Driving with the parking brake applied results in increased fuel consumption and rapid wear of the brake pads.
Attention! Never leave a car with a running engine unattended. Brake the vehicle with the parking brake, place the selector lever in the parking position «R» (Automatic transmission), and the gear lever (Manual Transmission) into position «R» (reverse), stop the engine and lock the doors when leaving the vehicle.
