WARNING!
• Never use the PARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the parking
brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.
• Your vehicle could move and injure you and others if it is not in PARK. Make sure the
transmission is in PARK before leaving the vehicle.
• It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle
speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly
forward or in reverse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and your foot is firmly pressing the
brake pedal.
• Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all
vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle,
always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into PARK, turn the engine OFF, and
remove the Key Fob. When the ignition is in the OFF position, the transmission is locked in
PARK, securing the vehicle against unwanted movement.
• When leaving the vehicle, always make sure the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the
Key Fob from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing
children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the transmission gear selector.
• Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to children), and
do not leave the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN position. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE (EPB)
Your vehicle is equipped with an Electric Park Brake System (EPB) that offers simple operation,
and some additional features that make the parking brake more convenient and useful. The
Electric Park Brake Switch is located in the center console.
To engage the park brake manually, push the
Electric Park Brake Switch.
To release the park brake manually, the ignition
switch must be in the ON/RUN position. Press
on the brake pedal, then push the parking brake
switch down momentarily.
The parking brake will disengage automatically
when the ignition switch in the RUN position,
the transmission is in DRIVE or REVERSE, the
driver seat belt is buckled, and an attempt is
made to drive away by pressing the accelerator
pedal.
