The parking brake is mechanical and acts on the brake shoes in the brake drum on the rear wheels. The parking brake is applied by pressing the pedal on the floor. The handle, located to the left of the steering wheel below the dashboard, is used to release the parking brake.

The switch for the parking brake warning lamp is on the mechanism for the parking brake.

The foot operated mechanism does not have an integrated adjuster function, but is under the vehicle on the rear axle.

The parking pedal is on the left-hand side at floor height.

The foot operated parking brake does not emit a clicking sound.
