    0V when parking brake is ON
   12V when parking brake is OFF 
```
Route the "BROWN" wire from the Safety Feature Harness through the center console to the parking brake switch.
Tap the "BROWN" wire to the wire from Step 2.
Reinstall the parking brake cover.

This feature will shut the engine off if the vehicle starts to move during "turbo-timing."

Connect the "PURPLE" wire to the speedometer signal wire from the ECU.
Please refer to the factory service manual of the vehicle for the proper signal wire.
This feature should only be attempted by a skilled technician.
