Features and controls 5-51
5
When the Electric parking brake is applied,
the brake warning light in the instrument
cluster and the indicator light (A) on the Elec-
tric parking brake switch will come on.
When parking on a hill, set the parking brake,
and turn the front wheels toward the curb on a
downhill, or away from the curb on an uphill.
NOTE
You may hear an operation noise from the
vehicle body when operating the Electric
parking brake. This does not indicate a mal-
function and the Electric parking brake is
operating normally.
When the battery is weak or dead, the Elec-
tric parking brake cannot be applied or
released. Refer to “Jump-starting the engine”
on page 8-2.
You may feel the brake pedal moving when
operating the Electric parking brake.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
To apply
1. Stop the vehicle completely.
2. Pull up the Electric parking brake switch
while depressing the brake pedal.
CAUTION
While the vehicle is in motion, do not apply
the Electric parking brake. Doing so may
cause overheating and/or premature wear of
brake parts, reducing brake performance.
NOTE
In the following conditions, the brake warn-
ing light will illuminate for approximately
15 seconds and then go off.
• While the Electric parking brake is applied,
the ignition switch is turned to the “OFF”
position or the operation mode is put in
OFF.
• While the ignition switch is in the “OFF”
position or the operation mode is in OFF,
the Electric parking brake switch is pulled
up.
If the Electric parking brake must be applied
in an emergency situation, pull and hold the
Electric parking brake switch to apply the
Electric parking brake. At that time, the fol-
lowing warning display will appear in the
multi-information display and a buzzer will
sound, however you should continue to pull
and hold the Electric parking brake switch.
When parking on steep grades, pull up the
Electric parking brake switch twice (once
more after the operation is completed once).
The maximum effect of the parking brake
will be obtained.
If the parking brake does not hold the vehicle
stationary after the foot brake is released,
contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
When the ignition switch or the operation
mode is other than ON, if the parking brake
is applied, the Electric parking brake indica-
tor light comes on for a while.
