When you release the electric parking brake, the brake system warning lamp turns off. Note: If the electric parking brake warning lamp stays lit, the electric parking brake will not automatically release. You must release the electric parking brake using the electric parking brake switch. Note: The electric parking brake drive away release makes starting on a hill easier.
