RE: Parking brake
One final question for tonight. Oh, and let me add that I do not have my manual yet. The dealership had to order me one, but when I receive it I plan on reading every page. Anyway, I am curious what the light is on the dash that blinks. It looks like a lock over the car and it blinks red when the car is off, any ideas?
thanks

RE: Parking brake
I aswell use the parking brake even when im on level ground, not OD all the way up but just alittle so the car dont rock back and forth after you put it into park, so the car dont rest on the tranny, but if i was on a hill or slope then i would use alittle more force when applying the parking brake.

RE: Parking brake
A few nights ago, someone posted a different response about the parking brake. He said auto's should never use the parking brake because it causes uneven cooling to the rotors and pads. This could eventually warp the rotors. any response to that?
I personally follow what Burnsy described. I don't like the feeling of relying on my gears to hold my car stationary. I didn't know about the pin...that was informative, thanks!
Sacrelli, that blinking light on under the tach just lets you know the doors are unlocked. It goes away when you lock your doors.
