tains the braking force without the driver

having to depress the brake pedal when

the vehicle is stopped at a traffic light or

presses the accelerator pedal again, the

automatic brake hold function is deacti-

vated and the braking force is released.

light will continue to illuminate for a

short period of time.

A buzzer will sound if the vehicle is

driven without releasing the parking

brake. See “Audible reminders” (P.2-

frequently applied and released in a

short period of time, the parking

brake may not operate in order to

prevent the parking brake system

from overheating. If this occurs,

operate the electronic parking brake

switch again after waiting approxi-

mately 1 minute.
