WARNING

Parking brake use

  • Never allow a passenger or anyone who is unfamiliar with your vehicle to touch the EPB switch. If the parking brake is released unintentionally, serious injury or death may occur.

  • Always fully engage the parking brake when parked to avoid inadvertent movement of your vehicle, which can injure occupants or pedestrians.

  • You may hear a click or electric brake motor whine sound while engaging or releasing the EPB. This is normal and indicates that the EPB is functioning properly.

  • When leaving your keys with a parking lot attendant or valet, inform them how to apply the EPB.

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

  • When you automatically release the EPB by engaging the accelerator pedal, engage it slowly.

When the conversion from AUTO HOLD to EPB is not working properly, the system displays the following warning message with sound:
