Driving and Operating 189
not running. In case of insufficient
electrical power, the EPB cannot be
applied or released.
The system has a
f
or PARK
Electric Parking Brake light, and a
8
Service Parking Brake light.
See Electric Parking Brake Light
0 126 and Service Electric Parking
Brake Light 0 127.
Before leaving the vehicle, check for
the
f
or PARK light to ensure that
the parking brake is applied.
EPB Apply
To apply the EPB:
1. Be sure the vehicle is at a
complete stop.
2. Lift up the EPB switch
momentarily.
The
f or PARK light will flash and
then stay on once the EPB is fully
applied. If the
f
or PARK light
flashes continuously, then the EPB
is only partially applied or there is a
problem with the EPB. A DIC (Driver
Information Center) message will
display. Release the EPB and try to
apply it again. If the light does not
come on, or keeps flashing, have
the vehicle serviced. Do not drive
the vehicle if the
f
or PARK light is
flashing. See your dealer. See
Electric Parking Brake Light 0 126.
If the
8
light is on, pull the EPB
switch and hold it. Continue to hold
the switch until the
f
or PARK light
remains on. If the
8
light remains
on, see your dealer.
If the EPB is applied while the
vehicle is moving, the vehicle will
decelerate as long as the switch is
pressed. If the switch is pressed
until the vehicle comes to a stop,
the EPB will remain applied.
The vehicle may automatically apply
the EPB in some situations when
the vehicle is not moving. This is
normal, and is done to periodically
check the correct operation of the
EPB system.
If the EPB fails to apply, block the
rear wheels to prevent vehicle
movement.
EPB Release
To release the EPB:
1. Turn the ignition on or to ACC/
ACCESSORY.
2. Apply and hold the brake
pedal.
3. Press the EPB switch
momentarily.
The EPB is released when the
f
or
PARK light is off.
If the
8
light is on, release the EPB
by pressing and holding the EPB
switch. Continue to hold the switch
until the
f
or PARK light is off.
If either light stays on after release
is attempted, see your dealer.
Caution
Driving with the parking brake on
can overheat the brake system
and cause premature wear or
damage to brake system parts.
