System warning
When the conversion from Auto Hold
to EPB is not working properly a
warning will sound and a message
will appear.
WARNING
• To prevent unintentional
movement when stopped and
leaving the vehicle, do not use
the shifter dial in place of the
parking brake. Set the parking
brake and make sure the
shifter dial is securely posi-
tioned in P (Park).
• Never allow anyone who is
unfamiliar with the vehicle to
touch the parking brake. If the
parking brake is released
unintentionally, serious injury
may occur.
• All vehicles should always
have the parking brake fully
engaged when parking to
avoid inadvertent movement
of the car which can injure
occupants or pedestrians.
CAUTION
• A click sound may be heard
whilst operating or releasing
the EPB, but these conditions
are normal and indicate that the
EPB is functioning properly.
• When leaving your keys with a
parking lot attendant or valet,
make sure to inform him/her
how to operate the EPB.
• The EPB may malfunction if
you drive with the EPB applied.
• When you automatically
release EPB by depressing
the accelerator pedal, depress
it slowly.
CAUTION
Depress the brake pedal when
the above message appears for
the Auto Hold and EPB may not
activate.
