To prevent serious injury or death from unintended vehicle movement:

  • Always come to a complete stop and continue to depress the brake pedal before parking, shift to P (Park), pull the EPB switch, and set the vehicle to OFF position. Take the key with you when leaving the vehicle.

  • Never allow anyone who is unfamiliar with the vehicle to touch the EPB switch.

  • Only release EPB when you are seated inside the vehicle with your foot firmly on the brake pedal.

NOTE

Driving with the EPB on may overheat the braking system and cause premature wear or damage to brake parts.

TIP

  • In winter, EPB related device may freeze and cannot be released. Do not use EPB but park on a flat surface with the vehicle in P (Park). Use wheel chocks under the wheels if necessary.

    If the EPB applies automatically when the vehicle is in P (Park), turn off AUTO HOLD, and press the EPB switch to release EPB.

  • A clicking sound may be heard while operating or releasing EPB. These conditions are normal and indicate that EPB is functioning properly.

  • When leaving your keys with a parking attendant or assistant, be sure to inform him/her how to operate the EPB.
