208 Driving and Operating
The system has a
Y
Electric
Parking Brake light and a
8
Service
Parking Brake light or message.
See
Electric Parking Brake Light
0 101 and Service Electric Parking
Brake Light 0 101 . There are also
parking brake-related Driver
Information Centre (DIC) messages.
In case of insufficient electrical
power, the EPB cannot be applied
or released.
Before leaving the vehicle, check for
the
Y
light to ensure that the
parking brake is applied.
EPB Apply
To apply the EPB:
1. Ensure the vehicle is at a
complete stop.
2. Pull the EPB switch
momentarily.
The
Y
light will flash and then stay
on once the EPB is fully applied.
If the
Y
light flashes continuously,
then the EPB is only partially
applied, or there is a problem with
the EPB. A DIC message will
display.
Release the EPB switch and try to
apply it again. If the light does not
come on, or keeps flashing, have
the vehicle serviced.
Do not drive the vehicle if the
Y
light is flashing. See your dealer.

If the
8
Service Parking Brake light
or message is on or the
Y
light
flashes when the ignition is turned
on, pull the EPB switch. Continue to
hold the switch until the
Y
light
remains on. If the
8
Service Parking
Brake light or message remains on,
see your dealer.
If the EPB switch is pulled while the
vehicle is moving, the vehicle will
decelerate as long as the switch is
pulled. If the switch is pulled until
the vehicle comes to a stop, the
EPB will remain applied.
If the EPB fails to apply, the rear
wheels should be blocked to
prevent vehicle movement.
Automatic Transmission
The EPB applies automatically
when shifting to P (Park) on a steep
incline. The EPB releases as soon
as the vehicle is shifted out of
P (Park) and the vehicle
accelerates.

vehicle is shifted into gear and the
vehicle accelerates.
EPB Release

1. Turn the ignition on or to
Accessory mode.
2. Apply and hold the brake
pedal.
3. Press the EPB switch
momentarily.
The EPB is released when the
