NOTE
•
A faint sound from the parking brake's
electric motor can be heard when the
parking brake is being applied. This
sound can also be heard during the auto-
matic function check of the parking
brake.
•
The brake pedal will move slightly when
the electric parking brake is applied or
released.
If the vehicle is not moving when the parking
brake is applied, only the rear wheels are affec-
ted. If it is applied while the vehicle is moving, the
normal brakes are used on all four wheels. The
brakes will only be applied on the rear wheels
once the vehicle has stopped.
