cle stationary after the foot brake is released,
have your vehicle checked immediately.
To release

then pull the lever up slightly.

3- Lower the lever fully.
CAUTION
l
Before driving, be sure that the parking
brake is fully released and brake warning
lamp is off.
If you drive without the parking brake fully
released, the warning display will appear on
the information screen in the multi informa-
tion display and a buzzer sound when the ve-
hicle speed exceeds 8 km/h (5 mph).
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overheated,
resulting in ineffective braking and possible
brake failure.
