the manual release lever is attached to the parking brake pedal assy
On most cars with a foot pedal parking brake, there is a handle usually just above it that you pull to release the brake.
To release the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal down with your right foot. Push down momentarily on the parking brake pedal with your left foot until you feel the pedal release. If the parking brake is not released when you began drive, the brake system warning light comes on and s chime sounds as a warning that the parking brake is still on.Manual Book page 2-28
If it doesn't have a release handle, you step down on the parking brake pedal one more time to release it.
Pressing the brake pedal and putting the car in gear will release the parking brake.
Should release when you put it in gear, otherwise theres a little lever on the top of the parking brake pedal
First, push the clutch/brake pedal all the way in (forward) with your left foot. Then, while holding that pedal in, lift the small handle (the parking brake) on the right side of the engine housing (just above the right foot rest area) with your right hand. While holding the small handle all the way up, release the clutch/brake pedal. The pedal will move back only a short distance and stay there. The parking brake is set. To release the parking brake, just push the clutch/brake pedal forward and the small parking brake handle will fall down, releasing the parking brake. By PhilfromPA
If it's all the way over on the left, it's the parking/emergency brake. You set and release the parking brake with this pedal. If it's right next to the brake, it's a clutch.
You forgot to release the parking brake.
Parking brake
There should be a lever down by the brake pedal. it will look kind of like a gear with a tab on it. that lever releases the parking brake. just be careful not to let the parking brake pedal smack you in the face....
Press down on the parking brake lever until you feel it click. This releases the pedal and it will come up all the way.
