To release the EPB, fasten the seat belt, and close the door, hood, and trunk lid.

  • If you try to drive with the EPB applied, a warning chime will sound and a message will appear.
  • If the driver's seat belt is not fastened and the hood or trunk lid is open, a warning chime will sound and a message will appear.

WARNING

  • Whenever you leave the vehicle or park, always come to a complete stop and keep depressing the brake pedal. Shift the transmission to P (Park), press the EPB switch, and turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. Take the key with you when you exit the vehicle. Vehicles not fully secured in P (Park) with the parking brake applied are at risk of unintended movement and may cause injury to yourself or others.
  • NEVER allow anyone unfamiliar with the vehicle to touch the EPB switch. If the EPB is released unintentionally, serious injury may occur.
  • Release the EPB only when you are seated in the vehicle with your foot firmly on the brake pedal.

NOTICE

  • Do not depress the accelerator pedal while the parking brake is applied. If you depress the accelerator pedal while the EPB is applied, a warning chime will sound and a message will appear. Damage to the parking brake may occur.
  • Driving with the parking brake applied may overheat the brake system and cause premature wear or damage to brake components. Make sure the EPB is released and the parking brake indicator is off before driving.
