WARNING

  • To prevent unintentional movement when stopped and leaving the vehicle, do not use the shifter dial in place of the parking brake. Set the parking brake and make sure the shifter dial is securely positioned in P (Park).

  • Never allow a passenger to touch the parking brake. If the parking brake is released unintentionally, serious injury may occur.

  • All vehicles should always have the parking brake fully engaged when parked to avoid inadvertent movement of the vehicles which can injure occupants or pedestrians.

NOTE

  • A click or electric brake motor whine sound may be heard while operating or releasing the EPB. These conditions are normal and indicate that the EPB is functioning properly.

  • If you hand over the vehicle to other people, make sure they understand how to use the Electronic Parking Brake for safety.

  • The EPB may malfunction if you drive with the EPB applied.

  • When you automatically release EPB by depressing the accelerator pedal, depress it slowly.

When the conversion from AUTO HOLD to EPB is not working properly a warning will sound and a message will appear.
