If there is a problem with the brake
system (foot brake) while driving the
vehicle, continually pulling up the EPB
switch will apply the brakes and
decelerate or stop the vehicle. The
parking brake on-reminder sound is
activated while the brake is applied. In
addition, when releasing the switch, the
brake is released and the sound stops.
If the parking brake is applied with the
ignition switched OFF or in ACC, the
EPB indicator light in the instrument
cluster and the indicator light in the

When using an automatic car wash

tires mounted, it is necessary to cancel
the parking brake auto operation before
the vehicle enters the automatic car
wash. For details, refer to Canceling the
parking brake automatic operation.

Releasing the parking brake manually

and the EPB switch is pressed while the
