Electric parking brake
Introduction
An electric parking brake has the same function as a manual parking brake.
NOTE
A faint sound from the parking brake's electric motor can be heard when the parking brake is being applied. This
sound can also be heard during the automatic function check of the parking brake.
The brake pedal will move slightly when the electric parking brake is applied or released.
Low battery voltage
If the battery voltage is too low, the parking brake cannot be applied or released. Connect an auxiliary battery if the
battery voltage is too low, see page 111
.
Applying the electric parking brake
1. Press firmly on the brake pedal.
2. Press the control.
3. Release the brake pedal and ensure that the vehicle is at a standstill.
4. When the vehicle is parked, the gear selector must be in position P .
The
symbol in the instrument panel flashes while the parking bake is being applied, and glows steadily when
the parking brake has been fully applied.
NOTE
In an emergency the parking brake can be applied when the vehicle is moving by holding in the control. Braking
will be interrupted when the accelerator pedal is depressed or the control is released.
An audible signal will sound during this procedure if the vehicle is moving at speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h).
Parking on a hill
If the vehicle is pointing uphill, turn the front wheels so that they point away from the curb.
If the vehicle is pointing downhill, turn the front wheels so that they point toward the curb.

Sirius satellite radio (option)
Listening to satellite radio
The Sirius satellite system consists of a number of high elevation satellites in geosynchronous orbit.
NOTE
The digital signals from the Sirius satellites are line-of-sight, which means that physical obstructions such as
bridges, tunnels, etc, may temporarily interfere with signal reception.
Avoid any obstructions, such as metallic objects transported on roof racks or in a ski box, or other antennas that
may impede signals from the SIRIUS satellites.
Selecting Sirius radio mode
1. Press Power to switch on the audio system (see pages 139
and 143 for information on the standard audio and radio
functions).
2. Press the MODE button repeatedly until Sirius 1 or 2 is displayed.
Activating Sirius radio

will return to the normal view.
SIRIUS ID
The SIRIUS ID is required when contacting the Sirius Call Center. It is used to activate your account and when making

The warning distance determines the level of sensitivity used by the system. The warning distance Long provides an
earlier warning. Begin by using Long and if the system gives too many warnings, try changing to Normal .
WARNING
The setting Short should only be used in situations where traffic is light and moving at low speeds.
Collision Warning alerts the driver to the risk of a collision but this function cannot reduce the driver's reaction
time.
For Collision Warning to be as effective as possible, it is recommended that Distance Alert be set to 4 or 5, see
page 165
.
NOTE
When Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is used, the warning light and signal will be used by ACC, even if Collision
Warning has been switched off.
In situations where traffic is moving at considerably different speeds, or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly,
warnings may be considered to be late, even if the setting Long has been selected.
Checking settings

This function is designed to help reduce the risk of accidents in situations where the vehicle leaves its lane and there is
a risk of driving off the road or into the opposite lane.
LDW consists of a camera that monitors the lane's side marker lines. The driver is alerted by an audible signal if the
vehicle crosses a side marker line or the road's center dividing line.
Operation and function
LDW can be switched on or off by pressing the button on the center console. A light in the button illuminates when the
function is on.
The trip computer display shows Lane Depart Warn Unavailable when the function is in standby mode.
When LDW is in standby mode, the function is activated automatically after the camera has monitored the road's side
marker lines and the vehicle's speed exceeds 40 mph (65 km/h). Lane Depart Warn Available will be displayed.
If the camera can no longer monitor the road's side marker lines, or if the vehicle's speed falls below 37 mph (60
km/h), LDW will return to standby mode and Lane Depart Warn Unavailable will be displayed.
If the vehicle unexpectedly crosses the lane's left or right side marker lines, the driver will be alerted by an audible
signal.
No warning signal will be given in the following situations:
The turn signal is being used
The driver's foot is on the brake pedal1
The throttle pedal is pressed quickly
If the steering wheel is moved quickly
In sharp turns that cause the vehicle's body to sway.
The camera also has certain limitations. See page 170
