Brake creaking

so I recently noticed my brakes creaking sound when I Move from P -> R when parking on a hill. I thought I was doing something wrong.
- so I decided to google some stuff. Is this right?

“By applying the parking brake first, you allow the brakes to hold the wheels in place so the car doesn't roll and push the park mechanism to the point where it's difficult to remove. RAY: When you drive away, do the opposite: Take the car out of park first, and then release the parking brake. “

brake lubricant? :girl:
 
Yes, your google search is the same procedure described in your 4Runner's owners manual, with the exception that Toyota states to feather the accelerator before releasing the parking brake when leaving your parking spot, but I would think that is intended for steep grades. You’re not wanting to put the weight of the vehicle on the transmission's parking pawl.
