The vehicle has an Electric Parking Brake

(EPB). The switch for the EPB is in the center

console. The EPB can always be activated,

even if the ignition is OFF. To prevent drain-

ing the battery, avoid repeated cycles of the

EPB system when the engine is not running.

The system has a parking brake status light

and a parking brake warning light. See

"ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE LAMP" in the in-

dex. In case of insufficient electrical power,

the EPB cannot be applied or released. Be-

fore leaving the vehicle, check the parking

brake status lamp to insure the parking brake

is applied.
