not move, even when you are on fairly level
ground, use the steps that follow. If you are
pulling a trailer, see Towing a Trailer (Manual
Transaxle) on page 4-37 or Towing a Trailer

sound and a warning light will flash when the parking
brake is applied and the vehicle is moving faster
than 5 mph (8 kph). See DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 3-37.
