brake in certain conditions, for example, on
a steep hill, the electric parking brake may
reapply the brakes within three to ten
minutes.
Note: You may notice various noises when
you apply and release the electric parking
brake. This is normal and no cause for
concern.

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

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.
Note: The brake system warning lamp
illuminates for ten seconds if you switch the
ignition off after you apply the electric
parking brake, or you apply the electric
parking brake after you switch the ignition .
Note: The electric parking brake will not
automatically apply. You must apply the
electric parking brake using the electric
parking brake switch.

for about two seconds and then
illuminates to confirm that you have
applied the electric parking brake. See
Information Displays (page 102).
If you apply the electric parking brake when
your vehicle is moving, the brake system
warning lamp illuminates and a warning
chime sounds. See Information Displays
(page 102).
If your vehicle speed is above 4 mph
(6 km/h), the braking force is applied as
long as you pull the switch. Releasing or
pressing the switch or pressing the
accelerator pedal stops the braking force.
