STARTING AND DRIVING
282
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.
