ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE
The electric parking brake replaces the
conventional handbrake. The operating
switch is located in the center console.
WARNING
Always set the parking brake and
leave your vehicle with the
transmission in park
(P)
(automatic
transmission) or in first gear
(1)
or reverse
(R)
(manual transmission).
Note:
When you apply the electric parking
brake in certain conditions, for example, on
a steep hill, the electric parking brake may
reapply the brakes within three to ten
minutes.
Note:
You may notice various noises when
you apply and release the electric parking
brake. This is normal and no cause for
concern.
Parking on a hill (vehicles with a
manual transmission)
If you park your vehicle facing uphill, move
the transmission to first gear
(1)
and turn
the steering wheel away from the curb. If
you park your vehicle facing downhill, move
the transmission to reverse
(R)
and turn
the steering wheel toward the curb.
Applying the electric parking brake
WARNING
If the brake system warning lamp
does not illuminate or flashes, there
could be a problem with your electric
parking brake. Have the system checked
by an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Note:
The brake system warning lamp will
illuminate for ten seconds, if the ignition is
turned off after the electric parking brake
has been applied, or the electric parking
brake has been applied after the ignition has
been turned off.
Note:
The electric parking brake will not
automatically apply. You must apply the
electric parking brake using the electric
parking brake switch.
