For vehicles with the Electric Parking Brake
(EPB), the parking brake status lamp comes
on briefly as the engine is started. If it does
not come on, have the vehicle serviced by your
authorised repairer.
The parking brake status lamp comes on
when the parking brake is applied. If the lamp
continues flashing after the parking brake is
released, or while driving, there is a problem
with the Electric Parking Brake system.
If the lamp does not come on, or remains
flashing, consult your authorised repairer.
