manually adjusted.

• Low brake vacuum (e.g. after several brake
pedal applications).
• STOP/START OFF switch is pressed.
• A STOP/START system error occurs.
• 4WD system is put into 4WD LOW mode.
Conditions That Force An Application Of The
Electric Park Brake While In Autostop Mode:
• The drivers door is open and brake pedal
released.
• The drivers door is open and the drivers seat
belt is unbuckled.
• The engine hood has been opened.
• A STOP/START system error occurs.
