1. Engage the vehicle's brakes firmly.
2. Activate the line lock by pressing the stage lock button. The indicator light will illuminate.
3. Release the brake pedal. The line lock will maintain pressure to the front brakes, keeping the front wheels locked.
4. With the front wheels locked, engage the gas pedal and disengage the clutch pedal (for manual transmissions) to allow the rear tires to spin and warm up.
5. To disengage the line lock, release the stage lock button. The indicator light will turn off, and brake pressure will return to normal.

6.2 For Momentary Hill Holding

The line lock can be used to momentarily hold the vehicle on an incline, providing a 'third foot' for easier starts, especially with manual transmissions.

1. While holding the brake pedal, activate the line lock by pressing the stage lock button.
2. Release the brake pedal. The vehicle will be held by the locked brakes.
3. To move, engage the clutch and accelerator, then release the stage lock button.
