Electric Parking Brake
{ CAUTION:
On vehicles with a manual transmission, releasing
the clutch and pressing the accelerator will release
the Electric Parking Brake. If the vehicle is not in a
gear, the vehicle could move, and you or others
could be injured. Make sure the vehicle is in a
gear before attempting to drive away. To avoid
unexpected vehicle movement, do not partially
release the clutch or press the accelerator pedal
until you are ready to release the parking brake
and drive away.
Vehicles with
the Electric
Parking Brake
(EPB) have
a switch in the
center console.
The EPB takes the place of the manual parking brake
system, the foot pedal and release handle. The system
has two warning lights and five Driver Information
Center (DIC) messages. See Brake System Warning
Light on page 3-38 and DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 3-57 for more information. In case of insufficient
electrical power, the EPB cannot be applied or released.
