Parking Brake
n
To apply: Pull up the switch. The BRAKE indicator
appears in the instrument panel. Hold the switch up
for emergency braking while moving.
To release: Hold the brake pedal down and make sure
your seat belt is fastened. Press the switch down to
release.
You can also lightly press the accelerator pedal
provided your seat belt is fastened, the vehicle is on,
and the transmission is in Drive (D) or Reverse (R).
Brake Assist System
n
During hard or emergency braking, the system increases braking force. The brake
pedal may move slightly or make a noise; this is normal. Continue to hold the brake
pedal firmly down.
Hill Start Assist System
n
When you're stopped on a hill, hill start assist helps prevent the vehicle from rolling
while you move your foot from the brake to the accelerator.
n Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
During hard or emergency braking, the system rapidly pumps the brakes to prevent
wheel lockup and help you maintain steering control. Do not pump the brake pedal,
rather continue to hold it firmly down.
When ABS activates, you may notice vibrations through the brake pedal or the
vehicle body, the brake pedal depressing further than usual, or hear a motor noise
from the engine compartment. These are all normal.
In normal use, the ABS system will occasionally cause a motor sound from the
engine compartment, especially when the engine is first started or after repeated
use of the brakes.
NOTICE
The ABS may not function correctly if you use an incorrect tire type and size.
