The system has a or PARK
Electric Parking Brake light, and a
Service Parking Brake light. See
Electric Parking Brake Light 0 108 and
Service Electric Parking Brake Light
0 108.
Before leaving the vehicle, check for
the or PARK light to ensure that
the parking brake is applied.
EPB Apply
To apply the EPB:
1. Be sure the vehicle is at a
complete stop.
2. Press the EPB switch
momentarily.
The or PARK light will flash and
then stay on once the EPB is fully
applied. If the or PARK light
flashes continuously, then the EPB is
only partially applied or there is a
problem with the EPB. A DIC message
will display. Release the EPB and try
to apply it again. If the light does not
come on, or keeps flashing, have the
vehicle serviced. Do not drive the
vehicle if the or PARK light is
flashing. See your dealer. See Electric
Parking Brake Light 0 108.
If the light is on, press the EPB
switch and hold it. Continue to hold
the switch until the or PARK light
remains on. If the light remains on,
see your dealer.
If the EPB is applied while the vehicle
is moving, the vehicle will decelerate
as long as the switch is pressed. If the
switch is pressed until the vehicle
comes to a stop, the EPB will remain
applied.
The vehicle may automatically apply
the EPB in some situations when the
vehicle is not moving. This is normal,
and is done to periodically check the
correct operation of the EPB system.
If the EPB fails to apply, block the rear
wheels to prevent vehicle movement.
EPB Release
To release the EPB:
1. Turn the ignition on or to ACC/
ACCESSORY.
DRIVING AND OPERATING
2. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
3. Press the EPB switch
momentarily.
The EPB is released when the
PARK light is off.
If the light is on, release the EPB by
pressing and holding the EPB switch.
Continue to hold the switch until
the or PARK light is off. If either
light stays on after release is
attempted, see your dealer.
Caution
Driving with the parking brake on
can overheat the brake system and
cause premature wear or damage to
brake system parts. Make sure that
the parking brake is fully released
and the brake warning light is off
before driving.
