How to release the parking brake on a Buick GL8?
1 Answers
GL8's parking brake (handbrake) comes in two forms: an electronic parking brake and a foot-operated parking brake system. You can identify it by the position and form of the handbrake switch. Here is the relevant information: 1. Electronic parking brake: If the vehicle is equipped with an electronic parking brake, the switch for the electronic parking brake is located on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel. The electronic parking brake can be engaged even when the ignition is turned off. To prevent battery drain, avoid repeatedly operating the electronic parking brake system when the engine is not running. 2. Foot-operated parking brake system: If the vehicle is equipped with a foot-operated parking brake system, the service brake (foot brake) is located to the left of the clutch in the main driver's cabin. During driving, the service brake (foot brake) is generally used to slow down or stop the vehicle while moving forward.
