Starting and operating/Parking your vehicle
cause unnecessary wear on the
brake linings. Before starting to
drive, always make sure that the
parking brake has been released
and the brake system warning
light has turned off.
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic
parking brake. You can apply/release the
parking brake by operating the parking
brake switch.
To apply: Depress the brake pedal and
press the parking brake switch firmly.
To release: Pull the parking brake switch
toward you while the ignition switch is in
the “ON” position and the brake pedal (all
models) and the clutch pedal (MT models)
are depressed.
When the parking brake is applied while
the ignition switch is in the “ON” position,
the brake system warning light and the
indicator light on the parking brake switch
illuminate. Refer to “Brake system warning
light” F3-21.
NOTE
. If the parking brake switch is pulled
with the ignition switch in the “Acc” or
“LOCK”/“OFF” position, the parking
brake is not released.
. If the parking brake switch is pulled
without depressing the brake pedal or
the clutch pedal, the parking brake is
not released.
. When the parking brake is being
applied or released, noise may be
noticed. However, this is not a malfunc-
tion.
. When the electronic parking brake
system has a malfunction or the elec-
tronic parking brake operation is pro-
hibited temporarily, if the parking brake
switch is operated, a chirp sound is
heard and the brake system warning
light flashes.
. When you cannot release the park-
ing brake due to, for example, a system
malfunction, you can relea se it by
using the parking brake release tool.
Refer to “Electronic parking brake – if
the electronic parking brake cannot be
released” F9-17.
! Automatic release function by ac-
celerator pedal
The electronic parking brake system has
an automatic release function. The park-
ing brake will be automatically released by
depressing the accelerator pedal. How-
ever, the automatic release function does
not operate under the following conditions.
. Any door (other than the trunk lid or
rear gate) is open.
. The driver’s seatbelt is not fastened.
If the parking brake is automatically
released, the brake system warning light
and the indicator light on the parking brake
switch turn off.
NOTE
Even if you have applied the parking
brake by pressing the parking brake
switch, the parking brake will be auto-
matically released when the accelera-
tor pedal is depressed.
! Hill Holder function
The electronic parking brake system has a
Hill Holder function. If the Hill Holder
function is activated, the parking brake
will be automatically applied when stop-
ping on an uphill slope with the brake
pedal depressed. In this case, the brake
system warning light and the indicator light
on the parking brake switch illuminate.
NOTE
. The Hill Holder function may not
activate on a gentle uphill slope. In this
case, manually apply the electronic
parking brake.
. If you do not depress the brake
pedal sufficiently, the Hill Holder func-
tion may not operate properly. How-
ever, this is not a malfunction. When
