WARNING
Improper use of the electronic parking brake can cause accidents and severe injuries.
ꢀ Never use the parking brake to slow down the vehicle when it is moving, except in an
emergency. Braking distance is much longer, since only the rear wheels are braked. Always
use the foot brake.
ꢀ Never press the accelerator pedal when a selector lever position or gear is engaged and
the engine is running. The vehicle could begin moving, even if the electronic parking brake is
set.
ꢀ Never activate the throttle manually from the engine compartment when the engine is
running and the automatic transmission is in gear. The vehicle will start to move even if the
parking brake is engaged.
NOTICE
Even though the transmission is in Park (P), the vehicle may move a couple of inches (a few
centimeters) forwards or backwards if you take your foot off the brake pedal after stopping the
vehicle without first firmly setting the parking brake.
Vehicles with manual transmission: the electronic parking brake releases automatically when
you release the clutch pedal and press the accelerator pedal at the same time.
If the vehicle battery is dead, the electronic parking brake cannot be released. Use a jump-start
You may hear noises when setting or releasing the electronic parking brake.
If the electronic parking brake is not used for a while, an automatic system check will
occasionally run when the vehicle is parked. This system check makes audible noises.
