Abstract

See full text

An operating apparatus for a parking brake is provided with a parking brake switch and an engine key switch. The parking brake switch can be operated to an ON position, an OFF position and a RESET position. When the engine key switch is OFF, the parking brake maintains an engaged state regardless of the operating position of the parking brake switch. When the engine key switch is switched from OFF to ON, the parking brake is released only when the parking brake switch is first operated to the RESET position. Then, after the parking brake switch is operated to the RESET position, the parking brake is released when the parking brake switch is operated to the OFF position, but it is engaged if the parking brake switch is operated to the ON position. With this, the parking brake is released through one and the same operating procedure, regardless of the operating position of the parking brake switch.
