manually by pressing the bottom of the
switch or automatically.
Manual release
WARNING
The brake system warning lamp will
flash when applying the electric
parking brake. If the brake system warning
lamp continues to flash there could be a
problem with your electric parking brake.
Have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. You can manually release the electric parking
brake by:
1. Switching the ignition on.
2. Pressing the brake pedal.
3. Pressing the electric parking brake
switch.
When you release the electric parking brake,
the brake system warning lamp turns off.
Automatic release - drive away release
Your vehicle automatically releases the
parking brake if:
• The driver door is closed.
• The vehicle is accelerated.
• There are no faults detected in the
parking brake system.
Note: If the electric parking brake warning
lamp stays illuminated, the electric parking
brake will not automatically release. You
must release the electric parking brake using
the electric parking brake switch.
Note: On hybrid vehicles, the vehicle must
be Ready-to-Drive as indicated by the green
ready indicator light. The brake system warning lamp will go off
to confirm that you have released the electric
parking brake.
Note:
The electric parking brake drive away
release makes starting on a hill easier. This
feature releases the parking brake
automatically when the vehicle has sufficient
drive force to move up the hill. To assure
drive away release when starting uphill,
press the accelerator pedal quickly.
Battery With No Charge WARNING
You will not be able to apply or release
the electric parking brake if the battery
is low or has no charge. If the battery is low or has no charge, use
jumper cables and a booster battery.

2. Switch on the ignition.
3. Check the information display for the
Ready to Drive light as the gasoline
engine may not start, but the electric
motor may be running. If you do not see
the Ready to Drive light, repeat Steps 1
and 2 up to two more times.
For vehicles equipped with a push button
start system:
1. Press the push button start to switch off the ignition.
2. Press the brake pedal and press the push
button start to switch on the ignition.
3. Check the information display for the Ready to Drive light as the gasoline
engine may not start, but the electric
motor may be running. If you do not see
the Ready to Drive light, repeat Steps 1
and 2 up to two more times.
Note: When you try to restart your vehicle
after a fuel shutoff, the vehicle makes sure
that the electrical system is safe to restart.
Once your vehicle determines that the
electrical system is safe, then the vehicle will
allow you to restart. Note:
In the event that your vehicle does not
restart after your third attempt, contact an
authorized dealer.
JUMP STARTING THE VEHICLE WARNINGS
The gases around the battery can
explode if exposed to flames, sparks,
or lit cigarettes. An explosion could result in
injury or vehicle damage. Batteries contain sulfuric acid which
can burn skin, eyes and clothing, if
contacted. Do not attempt to push-start your automatic
transmission vehicle. Automatic
transmissions do not have push-start
capability. Attempting to push-start a vehicle
with an automatic transmission may cause
transmission damage.
Preparing Your Vehicle
Note:
Use only a 12-volt supply to start your
vehicle. Note:
Do not disconnect the battery of the
disabled vehicle as this could damage the
vehicle's electrical system.
1. Park the booster vehicle close to the hood of the disabled vehicle making sure
the two vehicles do not touch. Set the
parking brake on both vehicles and stay
clear of the engine cooling fan and other
moving parts.
2. Check all battery terminals and remove any excessive corrosion before you
attach the battery cables. Ensure that
vent caps are tight and level.
3. Turn the heater fan on in both vehicles to protect from any electrical surges. Turn
all other accessories off.
Connecting the Jumper Cables
Your vehicle has two battery prongs that are
accessible from under the hood, even though
the actual battery is located in the trunk. Your
vehicle can be jumped the same way
conventional vehicles can be using these
prongs. The illustration below shows the two
connector prongs used for jump-starting your
vehicle.

A. Negative prong (–)
B. Positive prong (+)
Note:
In the illustration, the vehicle on the
bottom is used to designate the assisting
(boosting) battery.
Note: Remove the red cap from the positive
prong (B) on your vehicle before connecting
the cables. 1. Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to
the positive (+) prong (B) of the
discharged battery. 2.
Connect the other end of the positive (+)
cable to the positive (+) terminal of the
assisting battery.
3. Connect the negative (-) cable to the negative (-) terminal of the assisting
battery.
4. Make the final connection of the negative
(-) cable to the negative (-) prong (A) of
your vehicle.
Note: Do not attach the negative (-) cable to
fuel lines, engine rocker covers, the intake
manifold or electrical components as
grounding points. WARNING
Do not connect the end of the second
cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
battery to be jumped. A spark may cause an
explosion of the gases that surround the
battery. Ensure that the cables are clear of fan
blades, belts, moving parts of both engines,
or any fuel delivery system parts.

Jump Starting
1. Start the booster vehicle and press the
accelerator pedal moderately.
2. Start the disabled vehicle. Check the instrument cluster for the Ready to Drive
light as the gasoline engine may not start,
but the electric motor may be running.
3. Once you start the disabled vehicle, run both vehicles for an additional three
minutes before disconnecting the jumper
cables.
Removing the Jumper Cables
Remove the jumper cables in the reverse
order that they were connected.
Note: In the illustration, the vehicle on the
bottom is used to designate the assisting
(boosting) battery. 1. Remove the jumper cable from the
ground metal surface. 2. Remove the jumper cable on the
negative (-) terminal of the booster
vehicle's battery.
3. Remove the jumper cable from the positive (+) terminal of the booster
vehicle's battery.
4. Remove the jumper cable from the positive (+) terminal of the disabled
vehicle's battery.
After disconnecting the jumper cables, let
the disabled vehicle sit in Ready to Drive
mode for several minutes to charge the 12V
battery. The disabled vehicle can charge the
12V battery even if the gasoline engine may
be off. The 12V battery will receive power
from the high-voltage battery instead.

6. Allow the engine to idle for at least one
minute.
7. Drive the vehicle at least 10 mi (16 km) to
completely relearn the idle trim and fuel
trim strategy.
Note: If you do not allow the engine to
relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy, the
idle quality of your vehicle may be adversely
affected until the engine computer
eventually relearns the idle trim and fuel trim
strategy.
Note: Certain features may not operate if
the battery monitor system is not reset with
a scan tool following a jump start or battery
replacement. Normal electrical accessory
operation should resume after your vehicle
is left undisturbed for 8 hours.
Make sure that you dispose of old batteries
in an environmentally friendly way. Seek
advice from your local authority about
recycling old batteries.
If storing your vehicle for more than 30 days
without recharging the battery, we
recommend that you disconnect the battery
cables to maintain battery charge for quick
starting. CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES
Run the tip of your fingers over the edge of
the blade to check for roughness.
Clean the wiper blades with washer fluid or
water applied with a soft sponge or cloth.
CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES
Replace the wiper blades at least annually
for optimum performance.
You can improve poor wiper quality by
cleaning the wiper blades and the
windshield.
Note:
Do not hold the wiper blade when
lifting the wiper arm. Note:
Make sure that the wiper arm does
not spring back against the glass when the
wiper blade is not attached. 1. Pull the wiper blade and arm away from
the glass. Press the locking buttons
together.
2. Slightly rotate the wiper blade.
3. Remove the wiper blade.
4. Install in the reverse order.
Note: Make sure that the wiper blade locks
into place.
