Releasing the Parking Brake

  • If you try to drive while the EPB is applied, a warning chime sounds and a message is displayed.
  • If the driver does not fasten the seat belt and the hood or tailgate is opened while the vehicle is moving, a warning chime sounds and a message is displayed.
  • If a malfunction occurs in the vehicle, a warning chime may sound and a message is displayed.

In this situation, depress the brake pedal and release the EPB by pressing the corresponding switch.

WARNING

  • When leaving or parking the vehicle, wait until the vehicle has come to a complete stop and keep the brake pedal depressed. Place the shift lever in P (Park), press the EPB switch, and turn the engine start/stop button to the OFF position. Take the smart key with you when you exit the vehicle.
    If you leave the vehicle without applying the parking brake and without placing the shift lever in "P", the vehicle may move unexpectedly and cause injury to yourself or others.
  • NEVER allow persons unfamiliar with the vehicle to touch the EPB switch. Accidental release of this system may result in serious injury.
  • 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 sounds and a message is displayed. The parking brake may be damaged.
  • Driving with the parking brake applied may cause the brake system to overheat and lead to premature wear or even damage to its components. Make sure the EPB is released and the parking brake indicator is off before driving.

Information

  • You may hear a clicking sound when the EPB is applied and released. This is normal and indicates that the system is operating properly.
  • When you leave your keys with a valet or parking attendant, explain how the EPB works.
