Brakes

The electric parking brake replaces the conventional foot parking brake. The operating switch is on the console. Applying the Electric Parking Brake WARNING If the brake system warning light remains illuminated or flashes for more than four seconds after you have released the parking brake, there could be a problem with your braking system. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

The brake system warning lamp on the instrument cluster flashes for about two seconds and then illuminates to confirm that you have applied the electric parking brake. See Information Displays (page 122). Note: The brake system warning lamp remains illuminated for about ten seconds if you switch the ignition off with the parking brake applied, or apply the parking brake while the ignition is off. Note: The parking brake will not automatically apply. You must manually apply the electric parking brake by using the switch. Note: You may notice various noises when you apply and release the electric parking brake. This is normal and no cause for concern. Note: When you apply the electric parking brake in certain conditions, for example on a steep hill, the electric parking brake may reapply the brakes within ten minutes.

HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ANTI- LOCK BRAKES The anti-lock braking system does not eliminate the risks when: • You drive too closely to the vehicle in front of you. • Your vehicle is hydroplaning.

• You take corners too fast. • The road surface is poor.

Note: If the system activates, the brake pedal may pulse and may travel further. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal. You may also hear a noise from the system. This is normal.
