It's called the "parking brake" in the Workshop Manual (Page K:09:01 for example).

It's called the "parking brake" in the Parts Manual (Section 6-2-1).

I suspect it's called the "parking brake" in the owner's manual as well, but I unfortunately don't have one of those to check.

Houston calls it "parking brake" on their website.

Martin is just being contrary because I am the one who said it. He disagrees with every single word I write. If I said the sky was blue, he would argue it was actually a shade of aqua.
