Electric parking brake
An electric parking brake has the same func-
tion as a manual parking brake.
NOTE
•
A faint sound from the parking brake's
electric motor can be heard when the
parking brake is being applied. This
sound can also be heard during the
automatic function check of the park-
ing brake.
•
The brake pedal will move slightly
when the electric parking brake is
applied or released.
Low battery voltage
If the battery voltage is too low, the park-
ing brake cannot be applied or released.

voltage is too low, see page 123.

In an emergency the parking brake can
be applied when the vehicle is moving
by holding in the control. Braking will

procedure if the vehicle is moving at
speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h).
