Consideracions de funcionament

• Always engage the parking brake fully when parking, particularly on hills.
• Disengage the parking brake completely before driving. Driving with the parking brake engaged can cause premature wear to brake components and reduce fuel efficiency.
• In cold weather, if parking on a flat surface, some manufacturers recommend leaving the vehicle in gear (manual transmission) or Park (automatic transmission) and not engaging the parking brake to prevent it from freezing. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual.
