Activating the parking brake
The parking brake controls are located in the tunnel
console between the seats.
When the electric parking brake is being
applied, a faint sound can be heard from the
brake's electric motor. This sound can also be
heard during the automatic function check of
the parking brake.
1. Pull up the control.
> The symbol in the instrument panel will
illuminate when the parking brake is
activated.
If the vehicle is stationary when the parking
brake is activated, it will only be applied to the
rear wheels. If it is activated while the vehicle
is moving, the normal brakes will be used on
all four wheels. Braking will be transferred to
only the rear wheels when the vehicle is
almost stopped.
2. Make sure the vehicle is stationary.
