Parking Brake and Automatic

Transmission Park (P) Mechanism Check

{CAUTION:

When you are doing this check, your

vehicle could begin to move. You or

others could be injured and property

could be damaged. Make sure there is

room in front of your vehicle in case it

begins to roll. Be ready to apply the

regular brake at once should the vehicle

begin to move.

Park on a fairly steep hill, with the vehicle facing

downhill. Keeping your foot on the regular

brake, set the parking brake.

• To check the parking brake’s holding ability:

With the engine running and transmission in

NEUTRAL (N), slowly remove foot pressure

from the regular brake pedal. Do this until the

vehicle is held by the parking brake only.

• To check the PARK (P) mechanism’s holding

ability: With the engine running, shift to

PARK (P). Then release the parking brake

followed by the regular brake.

Contact your GM Goodwrench

®

dealer if service

is required.
