vehicle serviced. Do not drive the
vehicle if the parking brake status
light is flashing. Consult a repairer.
See Brake system warning light on
page 108.
If the EPB is applied while the
vehicle is in motion, a chime will
sound. The vehicle will decelerate as
long as the switch is held in the up
position. Releasing the EPB switch
during the deceleration will release
the parking brake. If the switch is
held in the up position until the
vehicle comes to a stop, the EPB will
remain applied.
If the parking brake status light Y
flashes continuously, the EPB is only
partially applied or released, or there
is a problem with the EPB. If this light
flashes continuously, release the
EPB, and attempt to apply it again. If
this light continues to flash, do not
drive the vehicle. Consult a repairer.
If the parking brake warning light is
on, the EPB has detected an error in
another system and is operating with
reduced functionality. To apply the
EPB when this light is on, lift up on
the EPB switch and hold it in the up
position. Full application of the
parking brake by the EPB system
may take a longer period of time than
normal when this light is on.
Continue to hold the switch until the
parking brake status light Y remains
on. If the parking brake warning light
is on, consult a repairer.
If the EPB fails to apply, the rear
wheels should be blocked to prevent
vehicle movement.
EPB Release
To release the EPB, place the
ignition in the ON/START position,
apply and hold the brake pedal, and
push down momentarily on the EPB
switch. If you attempt to release the
EPB without the brake pedal applied,
a chime will sound and the press
brake pedal light # will appear.
The EPB is released when the
parking brake status light Y is off.
If the parking brake warning light is
on, the EPB has detected an error in
another system and is operating with
reduced functionality. To release the
EPB when this light is on, push down
on the EPB switch and hold it in the
down position.
EPB release may take a longer
period of time than normal when this
light is on. Continue to hold the
switch until the parking brake status
light Y is off. If the light is on,
consult a repairer.
