use
• Never allow a passenger to
touch the parking brake. If the

occupants or pedestrians.

Check the brake warning light by
pressing engine start/stop button ON
(do not start the engine). This light will
be illuminated when the parking brake
is applied with the engine start/stop
button in the START or ON position.
Before driving, be sure the parking
brake is fully released and the brake
warning light is off.
If the brake warning light remains on
after the parking brake is released
while the engine is running, there may
be a malfunction in the brake system.
Immediate attention is necessary.
If at all possible, cease driving the
vehicle immediately. If that is not pos-
sible, use extreme caution while
operating the vehicle and only contin-
ue to drive the vehicle until you can
reach a safe location or repair shop.
