Parking brake operation
●
When the engine switch is not in the "ON" position (vehicles without smart
entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry &
start system), the parking brake cannot be released using the parking brake
switch.

Vehicles with Stop & Start system: When the engine is stopped by the Stop
& Start system, the parking brake will not be released even though the park-

can be released after the engine has been started, either by keeping the
parking brake switch pulled throughout the engine restart, or by pulling the
switch once again after the engine has restarted and "PARKING BRAKE
INOPERABLE"/"Parking brake inoperable." on the multi-information display
has disappeared.

The parking brake is automatically released during starting the vehicle, thus
making starting off easier.
