WARNING
• Be sure the parking brake is fully re-
leased before driving. Failure to do so
can cause brake failure and lead to an
accident.
• Do not release the parking brake from
outside the vehicle.
• Do not use the shift lever in place of the

ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm day
can quickly become high enough to cause
a significant risk of injury or death to
people and pets.

or released by operating the parking brake
switch.
WARNING
• Before leaving the vehicle, move the shift
position to the P (Park) position and
check that the electronic parking brake
warning light is illuminated to confirm
that the electronic parking brake is ap-
plied. The electronic parking brake
warning light will remain on for a period
of time after the driver’s door is locked.
CAUTION
When parking in an area where the outside
temperature is below 32°F (0°C), the park-
ing brake, if applied, may freeze in place
and may be difficult to release.
For safe parking, it is recommended that
you place the shift position in the P (Park)
position and securely block the wheels.
NOTE:
• To keep the electronic parking brake re- leased after the engine is turned off, place
the ignition switch in the OFF position, de-
press the brake pedal and push down the

heard from the lower side of the rear seat.
This is normal and does not indicate a
malfunction. • When the electronic parking brake is fre-
quently applied and released in a short pe-
riod of time, the parking brake may not

5-26Starting and driving

The automatic brake hold function maintains
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 depresses the accelerator
pedal again, the automatic brake hold func-
tion is deactivated and the braking force is
released. The operating status of the auto-
matic brake hold can be displayed.
To use the automatic brake hold function, the
following conditions need to be met:
• The driver’s seat belt is fastened.
• The electronic parking brake is released.
• The vehicle is not in the P (Park) position.
• The vehicle is not parked on a steep hill.
For additional information, see “Warning
lights, indicator lights and audible reminders”
(P. 2-12).
WARNING
• The automatic brake hold function is not
designed to hold the vehicle on a steep
hill or slippery road. Never use the auto-
matic brake hold function when the ve-
hicle is stopped on a steep hill or slippery
road. Failure to do so may cause the ve-
hicle to move. •
Warnings may appear to request that
the driver retake control by depressing
the brake pedal.
•
When the automatic brake hold function is
activated but fails to maintain the vehicle
at a standstill, depress the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle. If the vehicle unexpect-
edly moves due to outside conditions, the
chime may sound and automatic brake
hold warning may illuminate.
• Be sure to deactivate the automatic
brake hold function when using a car
wash or towing your vehicle.
• Make sure to place the shift position in
the P (Park) position and apply the park-
ing brake when parking your vehicle, en-
tering or exiting the vehicle, or loading
luggage. Failure to do so could cause the
vehicle to move or roll away unexpect-
edly and result in serious personal injury
or property damage.
• If any of the following conditions occur,
the automatic brake hold function may
not function. Have the system checked
promptly. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
– A warning message appears. –
The indicator light on the automatic
brake hold switch does not illuminate
when the switch is pushed.
Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance
with these conditions could cause the ve-
hicle to move or roll away unexpectedly and
result in serious personal injury or property
damage.
• The automatic brake hold function will
not be activated if the Slip indicator
light, electronic parking brake warning
light or master warning light illuminate
and the chassis control system fault
message appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
• Automatic brake hold function is oper-
ated by applying sufficient braking force
to hold the vehicle in its place, so there
are cases when this hold function is
maintained even if the accelerator pedal
is depressed. In this situation, it is ad-
vised to depress the brake pedal first,
then to turn off automatic brake hold
switch. This will cancel the hold function.
• To maintain the braking force to keep
the vehicle to a standstill, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
