brake pedal, then push the parking brake switch down
momentarily. Once the park brake is fully disengaged, the
BRAKE warning lamp in the instrument cluster and the
LED indicator on the switch will extinguish.

WARNING!
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• NEVER install a driver seat cover or any other
accessory on your driver seat.
• NEVER make any modifications to the driver seat
components, assembly, or factory installed seat cover.
• NEVER place objects under the driver seat.
If your driver seat needs service for any reason, take
your vehicle to your authorized dealer immediately.
NOTE:
• When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the front
wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away
from the curb on an uphill grade. The parking brake
should always be applied whenever the driver is not in
the vehicle.
• The Electronic Park Brake system communicates with
the Driver Presence Detection sensor installed in the
driver seat. The use of seat covers or seat accessories
could prevent the Electronic Park Brake system from
working properly and result in unintended vehicle
movement.
WARNING!
• When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob
from the ignition and lock your vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to
be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number
of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or
fatally injured. Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the gear
selector.
