STARTING AND DRIVING

NOTE
•
In an emergency the parking brake can
be applied when the vehicle is moving by
holding in the control. Braking will be
interrupted when the accelerator pedal is
depressed or the control is released.
•
An audible signal will sound during this
procedure if the vehicle is moving at
speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h).

Manual release
1. Fasten the seat belt.
2. Insert the remote key in the ignition slot and
press the START/STOP ENGINE button (or
press the START/STOP ENGINE button
with a valid remote key in the passenger

Automatic release
1. Start the engine.
NOTE
•
In order to perform an automatic release
when the engine is initially started, the
driver’s seat belt does not need to be fas-
tened.
•
The electric parking brake will be released
immediately when the accelerator pedal is
pressed and the gear selector is in posi-
tion D or R.
2. Fasten the seat belt.
3.
Move the gear selector to position D or R
and press the accelerator pedal. The parking
brake will release when the vehicle begins to
move.
Heavy load uphill
A heavy load, such as a trailer, can cause the
vehicle to roll backward when the parking brake
is released automatically on a steep incline. To
help avoid this:
1. Keep the electric parking brake lever pushed
in with the left hand while shifting into Drive
with the right.
2. While pressing the accelerator pedal to pull
away, release the parking brake lever only
after the vehicle begins to move.
