Brake pedal (2)
An accelerator pedal controls the speed of
the engine. Depressing the accelerator
pedal increases power output and speed.
Your vehicle is equipped with either front
and rear disc brakes or front disc brakes
and rear drum brakes. Depressing a brake
pedal applies both sets of brakes.

(Park) position, shift into “P” (Park). (If
you need to re-start the engine while
the vehicle is moving, shift into “N”.)
You may hear occasional brake squeal
when you apply the brakes. This is a nor-
mal condition caused by environmental
factors such as temperature, humidity or
dust, etc.
