ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB)
The switch which operates the parking brake is
mounted on the centre console to the rear of
the gear selector.
To disengage the parking brake (1): With the
ignition system on or with the engine running,
apply the foot brake and press the parking
brake switch down.
If the parking brake is applied while the vehicle
is stationary and D or R is selected, applying
the throttle will automatically release the
parking brake.
The parking brake is also automatically
released when the gear selector is moved from
the P position.
If the parking brake is inadvertently applied
when the vehicle is moving at above 3 km/h
(1.8 mph), Caution! Park Brake Applied is
displayed in the message centre, the warning
indicator in the instrument panel will illuminate
and a warning chime will sound.
If the parking brake is applied whilst the vehicle
is moving, releasing the switch will disengage
the parking brake. The parking brake cannot be
applied when the vehicle is moving, if the
accelerator pedal is pressed.

brake should only be used as an emergency
brake.
Always apply the parking brake when
the vehicle is parked.

parking brake switch upwards and release. The
switch will return to the neutral position.
The Drive Away Release feature allows the
parking brake to release automatically as the
vehicle is driven away.
The warning lamp in the instrument panel will
remain on for a short time, if the parking brake
is applied when the ignition system is reverted
to the convenience mode.
If a fault in the system is detected, Park Brake
Fault or Cannot Apply Park Brake will be
displayed in the message centre. Seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.

disconnected, Apply Foot And Park Brake will
be displayed in the message centre when the

brake and pull the parking brake switch up to
apply the parking brake. This is required to

brake will now function correctly.

on the instrument panel will
illuminate.
