You cannot apply or release the parking brake if the
12-volt battery goes dead. 2 Jump Starting P. 631
If you pull up and hold the electric parking brake
switch while driving, the brakes on all four wheels
are applied by the VSA

comes to a stop. The electric parking brake then
applies, and the switch should be released.
In the following situations, the parking brake
automatically operates.
•When your vehicle is stopped with the automatic
brake hold system activated for more than 10
minutes.
•When the driver’s seat belt is unfastened while
your vehicle is stopped and the brake hold system
is applied.
•When the engine is turned off while the brake hold

• You are wearing the driver’s seat belt.
• The engine is running.

• The transmission is not in

Your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes at all four wheels. A vacuum power assist
helps to reduce the effort needed on th e brake pedal. The brake assist system
increases the stopping force when you depress the brake pedal hard in an
emergency situation. The an ti-lock brake system (ABS) helps you retain steering
control when brak ing very hard.

■Foot Brake
Continuously variable transmission models
Manual transmission models1Foot Brake
Check the brakes after driving through deep water,
or if there is a buildup of road surface water. If
necessary, dry the brakes by lightly depressing the
pedal several times.
If you hear a continuous me tallic friction sound when
applying the brakes, this is caused by the brake wear
indicator rubbing on the brake rotor and indicates
that the brake pads need to be replaced. Have the
vehicle checked by a deal er. If you hear only an
occasional squeak or squeal when you initially apply
the brake pedal, this may be normal and caused by
high frequency vibr ation of the brake pads against
the rotating brake disc.
Constantly using the brak e pedal while going down a
long hill builds up heat, which reduces the brake
effectiveness. Apply engine braking by taking your
foot off the accelerator pe dal and downshifting to a
lower gear/speed position. With manual transmission
use a lower gear for gr eater engine braking.
Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while
driving, as it will lightly apply the brakes and cause
them to lose effectiveness over time and reduce pad
life. It will also conf use drivers behind you.
