8-32 Driving and Operating
Parking Brake
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
draining the battery, avoid repeated
cycles of the EPB system when the
engine is not running.
The system has a Park Brake
Status light and a Park Brake
Warning light. See Electric Parking
Brake Light
on page 420
.
There are also three Driver
Information Center (DIC) messages.
See Brake System Messages
on
page 433
for more information. In
case of insufficient electrical power,
the EPB cannot be applied or
released.
Before leaving the vehicle, check
the park brake status lamp to insure
the park brake is applied.
EPB Apply
The EPB can be applied any time
the vehicle is stopped. The EPB is
applied by momentarily lifting up on
the EPB switch. Once fully applied,
the park brake status light will be
on. While the brake is being applied,
the status lamp will flash until full
apply is reached. If the light does
not come on, or remains flashing,
you need to have the vehicle
serviced. Do not drive the vehicle if
the park brake status light is
flashing. See your dealer/retailer.
See Electric Parking Brake Light
on
page 420
for more information.
If the EPB is applied while the
vehicle is in motion, a chime will
sound, and the DIC message
RELEASE PARK BRAKE SWITCH
will be displayed. The vehicle will
decelerate as long as the switch is
held in the up position. Releasing
the EPB switch during the
deceleration will release the parking
brake. If the switch is held in the up
position until the vehicle comes to a
stop, the EPB will remain applied.
If the park brake status light flashes
continuously, the EPB is only
partially applied or released,
or there is a problem with the EPB.
The DIC message SERVICE PARK
BRAKE will be displayed. If this light
flashes continuously, release the
EPB, and attempt to apply it again.
If this light continues to flash, do not
drive the vehicle. See your dealer/
retailer.
