## Parking brake 

This brake keeps the vehicle from moving when it’s parked. Depending on your vehicle, you may have a foot or hand‑ operated brake. Make sure you fully apply the parking brake when parking and fully release it before moving. 

The parking brake is sometimes called an emergency brake because it can be used to slow the vehicle if the foot brake fails. See chapter 8, emergency strategies , for more information on these situations. 

## Turn signal lever 

This lever turns the left‑ and right‑turn signals on and off. You use your turn signals to communicate to other road users that you want to change direction or position.
