tional information, see “Warning lights, indica-
tor lights and audible reminders” (P.2-12).
NOTE:
. A chime will sound if the vehicle is driven
without releasing the parking brake. See
“Audible reminders” (P.2-20).
.
While the electric parking brake is
applied or released, an operating sound
is heard from the lower side of the rear
seat. This is normal and does not indicate
a malfunction.
.
When the electric parking brake is
frequently applied and released in a short
period of time, the electric parking brake
warning light (yellow) may blink and the
parking brake may not operate in order
to prevent the parking brake system
from overheating. If this occurs, operate
the electric parking brake switch again
after waiting approximately 1 minute.
. If the electric parking brake must be
applied while driving in an emergency,
pull up and hold the parking brake
switch. When you release the parking
brake switch, the parking brake will be
released.
. While pulling up the electric parking
brake switch during driving, the parking
brake is applied and a chime sounds. The
electric parking brake warning light in
the meter and in the parking brake
switch illuminate. This does not indicate
a malfunction. The electric parking
brake warning light in the meter and in
the parking brake switch turn off when
the parking brake is released.
.
When pulling the electric parking brake
switch up with the ignition switch in the
OFF or ACC position, the parking brake
switch indicator light will continue to
illuminate for a short period of time.
Depending on the weight of the vehicle and
trailer and the steepness of the slope, there may
be a tendency for the vehicle to move back-
wards when starting from a standstill. When this
occurs, you can use the parking brake switch in
the same way as a conventional lever type
parking brake.
Before starting on sloping roads when towing a
trailer, be sure to read the following to prevent
the vehicle from moving backward unintention-
ally.
. Push the switch down to release the parking
brake switch as soon as the engine is
delivering enough torque to the wheels.
The Brake Auto Hold function maintains the
braking force without the driver having to
depress the brake pedal when the vehicle is
stopped at a traffic light or intersection. As soon
as the driver depresses the accelerator pedal
again, the Brake Auto Hold function is
deactivated and the braking force is released.
The operating status of the Brake Auto Hold
can be displayed on the multi-information
display.
WARNING
.
The Brake Auto Hold function is not
designed to hold the vehicle on a steep hill
or slippery road. Never use the Brake Auto
Hold when the vehicle is stopped on a steep
hill or slippery road. Failure to do so may
cause the vehicle to move.
.
When the Brake Auto Hold function is
activated but fails to maintain the vehicle
at a standstill, depress the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle. If the vehicle unexpectedly
moves due to outside conditions, the chime
may sound and Brake Auto Hold warning
may illuminate in the multi-information
display.
.
Be sure to deactivate the Brake Auto Hold
function when using a car wash or towing
your vehicle.
