Parking brake control

 Note

  • A faint sound from the parking brake's electric motor can be heard when the parking brake is being applied. This sound can also be heard during the automatic function check of the parking brake.
  • The brake pedal will move slightly when the electric parking brake is applied or released.

Low battery voltage

If the battery voltage is too low, the parking brake cannot be applied or released. Connect an auxiliary battery if the battery voltage is too low, see Jump starting.

Parking on a hill

  • If the vehicle is pointing uphill, turn the front wheels so that they point away from the curb.
  • If the vehicle is pointing downhill, turn the front wheels so that they point toward the curb.

The parking brake should also be applied.
