Driving your vehicle Brake system
EPB may be automatically
applied when:
僅 Requested by other systems.
僅 If the driver applies the AUTO HOLD
function whilst the engine is ON then
turn the engine off, the EPB may be
applied again automatically.
僅 If the driver turns the engine off by
mistake whilst Auto Hold (if equipped)
is operating, EPB will be automatically
applied. But if the driver turns the
engine off and push the EPB switch in
1 second, the EPB does not apply.

switch. If you hand off the EPB switch,
the braking force is lost. If you hold

dealer/service partner.
