When the parking brake is released, the park-
ing brake indicator lamp and the indicator
lamp on the Electric parking brake switch go
off.
Depending on the situation, the Electric
parking brake may be applied automatically.
Refer to “Brake auto hold” on page 6-50.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed when the
Electric parking brake has been applied or is
applied, the warning will be displayed.
To release
1. Make sure that the operation mode is
ON.
2. Press down the Electric parking brake
switch while depressing the brake pedal.
NOTE
CAUTION
After the Electric parking brake switch has
been operated to apply or release the Electric
parking brake, if the parking brake indicator
lamp and the indicator on the Electric park-
ing brake switch remain blinking or the Elec-
tric parking brake warning lamp (yellow)
remain illuminated, the Electric parking
brake system may be malfunctioning and the
Electric parking brake may not be applied or
released. Immediately park your vehicle in a
safe place and contact the nearest
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
Before driving, be sure that the parking
brake is released, the parking brake indicator
lamp and the Electric parking brake warning
lamp (yellow) 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 vehicle is operated in cold weather and
the vehicle speed does not increase more
than usual after releasing the Electric park-
ing brake, the Electric parking brake may not
be fully released. In this case, park the vehi-
cle, and apply and release the Electric park-
ing 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.
When there is a malfunction in the Electric
parking brake, release the Electric parking
brake manually.
Refer to “When the Electric parking brake
cannot be released” on page 6-8 for manual
release of the Electric parking brake.
When in other than “P” (PARK) position, if
you try to release the Electric parking brake
switch without depressing the brake pedal,
the warning display will appear.
