When the parking brake is released, the brake
warning lamp (red) and the indicator lamp on
the Electric parking brake switch go off.
NOTE
 When parking on steep grades, pull up the
Electric parking brake switch twice (once
more after the operation is completed once).
The maximum effect of the parking brake
will be obtained.

If the parking brake does not hold the vehicle
stationary after the foot brake is released,
contact your authorised MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer.
 When the operation mode is other than ON,
if the parking brake is applied, the Electric
parking brake indicator lamp comes on for a
while.

The brake warning lamp (red) and the indica-
tor lamp on the Electric parking brake switch
may blink. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion if the lamps go off when the Electric
parking brake is released.
To release
1. Make sure that the operation mode is
ON.
2. Press down the Electric parking brake
switch while depressing the brake pedal.
CAUTION
 If the Electric parking brake switch is oper-
ated when the Electric parking brake cannot
be applied or released due to a system mal-
function or failure, the brake warning lamp
(red) and the Electric parking brake indicator
lamp will blink. If the lamps remain blink-
ing, immediately park your vehicle in a safe
place and contact an authorised
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
 Before driving, be sure that the parking
brake is released, the brake warning lamp
and the Electric parking brake indicator lamp
are off.
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overheated,
resulting in ineffective braking and possible
brake failure.

If the brake warning lamp does not extin-
guish when the parking brake is released, the
brake system may be an abnormal.
Contact your authorised MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer.
For details, refer to “Brake warning lamp
(red)” on page 5-52.
 If the vehicle is operated in cold weather and
the vehicle speed does not increase more
than usual after releasing the electric parking
brake, the Electric parking brake may not be
fully released. In this case, park the vehicle,
and apply and release the Electric parking
brake again. When the vehicle speed does
not increase even if this operation is made,
contact an authorised MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer.
NOTE
 When the operation mode is other than ON,
the parking brake cannot be released.
