Parking brake
The parking brake helps keep the vehicle sta-
tionary by mechanically locking two wheels.
The parking brake controls are located in the tunnel
console between the seats.
When the electric parking brake is being
applied, a faint sound can be heard from the
brake's electric motor. This sound can also be
heard during the automatic function check of
the parking brake.
If the vehicle is stationary when the parking
brake is activated, it will only be applied to the
rear wheels. If it is activated while the vehicle
is moving, the normal brakes will be used on
all four wheels. Braking will be transferred to
only the rear wheels when the vehicle is
almost stopped.
