prevents the wheels from turning. Come
to a complete stop before putting your
vehicle into and out of park (P).
The electric parking brake could apply
when you shift to park (P) without the

parking brake applies when you shift to
park (P) on large slopes. The electric
parking brake releases with the drive away
release function or manually as described

the driver door and you have not shifted the
transmission selector to park (P).

selector lever to reverse (R) only when
your vehicle is stationary and the engine
is at idle speed.
This position allows your vehicle to move
backward. Come to a complete stop
before shifting into and out of reverse (R).
