illuminate. If your foot is on the brake pedal while you
apply the EPB, you may notice a small amount of brake
pedal movement. The EPB can be applied even when the
ignition switch is in the OFF mode but the BRAKE warning
lamp will not illuminate, however, it can only be released
when the ignition is in the RUN mode.
NOTE:
The EPB fault lamp will illuminate if the EPB
switch is held for longer than 60 seconds in either the
released or applied position. The light will extinguish upon
releasing the switch.
If the Auto Park Brake feature is enabled, the EPB will
automatically engage whenever the transmission is placed
into PARK, or with a manual transmission, when the
ignition switch is in the STOP/OFF position. If your foot is
on the brake pedal, you may notice a small amount of
brake pedal movement while the EPB is engaging.
The EPB will be automatically released if the driver’s seat
belt is buckled (in case of automatic transmission) and
driver’s intention to start (in forward or reverse direction)
is recognized by the system
To release the EPB manually, the ignition must be in the
RUN mode. Put your foot on the brake pedal, then push
the EPB switch down momentarily. You may hear a slight
whirring sound from the back of the vehicle while the
parking brake disengages. You may also notice a small
amount of movement in the brake pedal. Once the EPB is
fully disengaged, the BRAKE warning lamp in the instru-
ment cluster and the LED indicator on the switch will
extinguish.
NOTE:
•
When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the front
wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away
from the curb on an uphill grade. Apply the EPB before
placing the gear selector in PARK, otherwise the load on
the transmission locking mechanism may make it diffi-
cult to move the gear selector out of PARK. The EPB
should always be applied whenever the driver is not in
the vehicle.
•
If the clutch pedal is released at the same time the gas
pedal is pressed, the EPB will be automatically released
(manual transmissions only).
WARNING!
•
When exiting the vehicle, always remove the key fob
from the vehicle and lock your vehicle.
