218 Driving and Operating
If the EPB fails to apply, block
the rear wheels to prevent
vehicle movement.
EPB Release
To release the EPB:1. Turn the vehicle on.
2. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
3. Press the EPB switch momentarily.
The EPB is released when the
red parking brake status light
is off.
If the amber service parking
brake warning light is on,
release the EPB by pressing
and holding the EPB switch.
Continue to hold the switch
until the red parking brake
status light is off. If either light
stays on after release is
attempted, see your dealer.
Caution
Driving with the parking
brake on can overheat the
brake system and cause
premature wear or damage
to brake system parts. Make
sure that the parking brake
is fully released and the
brake warning light is off
before driving.
Automatic EPB Release
The EPB will automatically
release if the vehicle is
running, placed into gear, and
an attempt is made to drive
away. Avoid rapid acceleration
when the EPB is applied, to
preserve parking brake
lining life.
Brake Assist
Brake Assist detects rapid
brake pedal applications due
to emergency braking
situations and provides
additional braking to activate
the Antilock Brake System (ABS) if the brake pedal is not
pushed hard enough to
activate ABS normally. Minor
noise, brake pedal pulsation,
and/or pedal movement during
this time may occur. Continue
to apply the brake pedal as
the driving situation dictates.
Brake Assist disengages when
the brake pedal is released.
Hill Start Assist (HSA)
{Warning
Do not rely on the HSA
feature. HSA does not
replace the need to pay
attention and drive safely.
You may not hear or feel
alerts or warnings provided
by this system. Failure to
use proper care when
driving may result in injury,
death, or vehicle damage.
See Defensive Driving
0196.
When the vehicle is stopped
on a grade, Hill Start Assist
(HSA) prevents the vehicle

Driving and Operating 219
from rolling in an unintended
direction during the transition
from brake pedal release to
accelerator pedal apply. The
brakes release when the
accelerator pedal is applied.
The brakes may also release
under other conditions. Do not
rely on HSA to hold the
vehicle.
HSA is available when the
vehicle is facing uphill in a
forward gear, or when facing
downhill in R (Reverse). The
vehicle must come to a
complete stop on a grade for
HSA to activate.Automatic Vehicle
Hold (AVH)
{Warning
Do not rely on this feature.
It does not replace the need
to pay attention and drive
safely. You may not hear or
feel alerts or warnings
provided by this system.
Failure to use proper care
when driving may result in
injury, death, or vehicle
damage.When Automatic Vehicle Hold
(AVH) is turned on and the
vehicle is braked to a stop,
AVH prevents the vehicle from
moving during the transition
from brake pedal release to
accelerator pedal apply. The
brakes release when the
accelerator pedal is applied.
The brakes may also release
under other conditions. Do not
rely on AVH to hold the
vehicle.
If the accelerator pedal is not
applied within a few minutes,
the Electric Parking Brake will
apply. The parking brake will
also apply if the driver door is
opened or the driver seat belt
is unfastened while AVH is
holding the vehicle.
AVH can be turned on by
pressing AUTO HOLD. The
AVH indicator will come on.
While AVH is holding the
vehicle, the AVH indicator will
change to green. See
Automatic Vehicle Hold (AVH)
