Automatic operation
The electronic parking brake will apply au-
tomatically if the ignition switch is placed in

maintained by the automatic brake hold
function. The electronic parking brake is automati-
cally released as soon as the vehicle starts
and the accelerator pedal is depressed
with the driver’s seat belt fastened.

ing brake switch during driving, the
parking brake is applied and a chime
sounds. The electronic parking brake
indicator light in the meter and in the
parking brake switch illuminates.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
The electronic parking brake indica-
tor light in the meter and in the park-
ing brake switch turns off when the
parking brake is released.
∙ When pulling the electronic parking
brake switch up with the ignition
switch in the OFF or AUTO ACC posi-
tion, the parking brake switch indica-
tor light will continue to illuminate for
a short period of time. The automatic brake hold function main-
tains the braking force without the driver
having to depress the brake pedal when
the vehicle is stopped at a traffic light or
intersection. As soon as the driver de-
presses the accelerator pedal again, the
automatic brake hold function is deacti-
vated and the braking force is released. The
operating status of the automatic brake
hold can be displayed on the vehicle infor-
mation display.
