The EPB will automatically release when the brake pedal is engaged and shifter is shifted out of P (Park) to R (Reverse)
or shifted out of N (Neutral) to Reverse or D (Drive) To release EPB manually, depress the brake pedal, then press the EPB switch A, with the ignition switch in the ON position Ensure that the indicator light is OFF
Auto Hold*
Auto Hold temporarily maintains the vehicle at a standstill even though the brake pedal is not depressed after the driver brings the vehicle to a complete stop by depressing the brake pedal Auto Hold can be turned On/Off using the AUTO HOLD button B on the center panel below the gear shift Before Auto Hold will operate, the driver ’s door, engine hood, and liftgate (trunk) must be closed
The AUTO HOLD indicator on the Instrument Cluster has four states:
