Applying the electric parking brake
when the vehicle is moving
WARNINGS
Applying the electric parking brake
while moving will result in the
engagement of the anti-lock braking system.
Do not use the electric parking brake system
when the vehicle is moving unless the normal
brake system is unable to stop the vehicle.
With the exception of emergency
conditions (for example, the brake
pedal is broken or is blocked), do not apply
the electric parking brake while the vehicle
is moving. On bends, or poor road surfaces
or weather conditions, emergency braking
can cause the vehicle to skid out of control
or off the road.
WARNINGS
The brake system warning lamp will
flash when applying the electric
parking brake. If the brake system warning
lamp continues to flash there could be a
problem with your electric parking brake.
Have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
If you apply the electric parking brake when
your vehicle is moving, the brake system
warning lamp illuminates and a warning tone
sounds. See Information Displays (page
111).
If your vehicle speed is above 4 mph
(6 km/h), the braking force is applied as long
as you apply the switch. Release or press
the switch, or press the accelerator pedal to
stop the braking force.
