NOTE:
• You may hear a slight whirring sound from the back of the vehicle while the parking brake
engages or disengages.
• Once the parking brake is fully engaged, the BRAKE warning lamp in the instrument cluster
and the LED indicator on the switch will illuminate. Once the park brake is fully disengaged,
the BRAKE warning lamp in the instrument cluster and the LED indicator on the switch will
extinguish.
• If your foot is on the brake pedal while you are engaging or disengaging the parking brake, you
may notice a small amount of brake pedal movement.
• The park brake can be engaged even when the ignition switch is OFF. However, it can only be
disengaged when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position.
• The EPB fault lamp will illuminate if the EPB switch is held for longer than 20 seconds in either
the released or applied position. The light will extinguish upon releasing the switch.
• Refer to “Parking Brake” in “Starting And Operating” located on the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual
on the DVD for further details.
CAUTION!
If the Brake System Warning Light remains on with the parking brake released, a brake system
malfunction is indicated. Have the brake system serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.
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.
• When leaving the vehicle, always make sure the ignition is in the OFF mode, remove the
Key Fob from the vehicle, and lock your 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 mode. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving; failure to do so can lead to
brake failure and a collision.
• Always fully apply the parking brake when leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and cause
damage or injury. Also be certain to leave the transmission in PARK. Failure to do so may
allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury.
• Driving the vehicle with the parking brake engaged, or repeated use of the parking brake to
slow the vehicle may cause serious damage to the brake system.
