The lever is situated between the front seats. The brake is applied to the rear wheels.

In order to obtain the best possible performance of the parking brake, the brake linings should be broken

in. (See section titled "Brake system".)

The reminder light PARKING BRAKE on the instrument panel comes on whenever the parking brake

lever is not fully released and the ignition is on.

Choke (only in cars with carburetor engines for Canada)

Pull the choke out fully before starting a cold engine.

Pulling the choke out a fraction of an inch or so regulates engine idling to some extent.

Use the choke as briefly as possible!
