Braking in Emergencies
A
BS allows steering and braking at the same
time. In many emergencies, steering can help
even more than braking.
Electric Parking Brake
The Electric Parking Brake (EPB) can always be
applied, even if the vehicle is off. In case of
insufficient electrical power, the EPB cannot be
applied or released. To prevent draining the
battery, avoid unnecessary repeated cycles of
the EPB.
The system has a red parking brake status light
and an amber service parking brake warning
light. See Electric Parking Brake Light 391
and S
ervice Electric Parking Brake Light 391.
There are also parking brake-related Driver
Information Center (DIC) messages.
Before leaving the vehicle, check the red
parking brake status 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. Press the EPB switch momentarily.
The red parking brake status light will flash
and then stay on once the EPB is fully applied.
If the red parking brake status light flashes
continuously, then the EPB is only partially
applied or there is a problem with the EPB. A DIC
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 red parking brake
status light is flashing. See your dealer.
If the amber service parking brake warning
light is on, press the EPB switch. Continue
to hold the switch until the red parking
brake status light remains on. If the amber
service parking brake warning light is on, see
your dealer.
If the EPB is applied while the vehicle is
m
oving, 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, or at the request of other safety
functions that utilize the EPB.
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 accessory mode.
2. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
3. Press the EPB switch momentarily.
The EPB is released when the red parking brake
status light is off.
If the amber service parking brake warning
light is on, release the EPB by pressing and
holding the EPB switch. Continue to hold the
