Driving your vehicle Brake system
僅 To prevent unintentional movement
when stopped and leaving the vehicle,
do not use the shift lever in place of
the parking brake. Set the parking
brake and make sure the shift lever is
securely positioned in P (Park). Use
wheel chokes if necessary.
僅 In winter or cold conditions, the EPB
may freeze. Park the vehicle with the
shift lever in P on the even and safe
place without applying the EPB. And
use wheel chokes.
僅 Do not drive your vehicle with the EPB
applied. It may cause excessive wear
of brake pad and brake rotor.
僅 A click sound may be heard whilst
operating or releasing the EPB, but
these conditions are normal and indi
-
cate that the EPB is functioning prop
-
erly.
僅 When leaving your keys with a park
-
ing lot attendant or valet, make sure
to inform him/her how to operate the
EPB.
僅 When the battery is drained, the EPB
does not apply or release. In this case,
jump start your vehicle.
