STARTING AND OPERATING

STARTING THE VEHICLE

Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust
both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat
belts.
WARNING!
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 transmission
push buttons.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle (or
in a location accessible to children). A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or move
the vehicle.
Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged
before driving; failure to do so can lead to brake
failure and a collision.
Always fully apply the parking brake when leaving
your vehicle, or it may roll and cause damage or
injury.

Once the parking brake is fully engaged, the BRAKE
Warning Light in the instrument cluster and an indicator
on the switch will illuminate. If your foot is on the brake
pedal while you apply the parking brake, you may notice
a small amount of brake pedal movement. The parking
brake can be applied even when the ignition switch is

however, it can only be released when the ignition is in
the ON/RUN position.

The EPB Warning Light will illuminate if the EPB switch
is held for longer than 20 seconds in either the
released or applied position. The light will extinguish
upon releasing the switch.

brake pedal, you may notice a small amount of brake
pedal movement while the parking brake is engaging.
The parking brake will release automatically when the
ignition is ON, the transmission is in DRIVE or REVERSE,
the driver seat belt is buckled, and an attempt is made
to drive away.
