Warning
●
To prevent gliding, before leaving the vehicle, ensure to apply the EPB and shift the
gearshift knob to "P" and do not use gearshift mechanism in place of EPB for the
parking.
●
During the traveling of vehicle, the passengers in the vehicle are prohibited to
operate the EPB switch, in order to prevent serious accidents.
●
During the application or release of the EPB, please depress the brake pedal
whenever possible, in order to prevent the gliding of vehicle due to insufficient
parking force of EPB from causing stagnations of gears or other symptom.
●
Avoid using the EPB for forced braking whenever possible. Use the emergency
braking function only in event of the emergencies such as failed service brake or
obstructed brake pedal.
●
While driving on curves, dangerous roads, or traffic crowded roads or in severe
weathers, activating the emergency braking function can probably result in drifting,
sideslip, or off-tracking of vehicle. Take cautions to prevent accidents, as the EPB is
impossible to surpass the physical limit of road adhesion.
