5) Parking Brake
When applied, it prevents the vehicle
from moving. Useful when the brake
needs to be locked for example when
doing a K-turn, during transportation or
when the vehicle is not in operation.

engage the PARK position on the
transmission lever when the vehi-
cle is not in operation.

disengaged before operating the

that are caused to drag by a con-
tinuous pressure on the lever may
cause damage to the brake system
and cause loss of braking capacity
and/or fire.

ing lever lock.

so an effect on front wheels through
the drive train.

ing brake is applied that the vehi-
cle stays securely in place. If not,
have braking system inspect by an
authorized Can-Am dealer as soon
