brake switch up with the ignition
switch in the OFF or ACC position, the
parking brake switch indicator light
will continue to illuminate for a short
period of time.When towing a trailer
Depending on the weight of the vehicle and
trailer and the steepness of the slope, there
may be a tendency for the vehicle to move
backwards when starting from a standstill.
When this occurs, you can use the parking
brake switch in the same way as a conven-
tional lever type parking brake.
Before starting on sloping roads when
towing a trailer, be sure to read the follow-
ing to prevent the vehicle from moving
backward unintentionally:
∙ Release the parking brake switch as soon as the engine is delivering enough
torque to the wheels.
