To release automatically

Depressing the accelerator pedal releases the parking brake.

Use the accelerator pedal to release the brake when you are starting the vehicle
facing uphill, or in a traffic jam.

Gently depress the accelerator pedal.
When on a hill, it may require more
accelerator input to release.

The parking brake and brake system
indicator (red) goes off.

You can release the parking brake automatically when:

•

You are wearing the driver’s seat belt.

•

The engine is running.

•

The transmission is not in

Activating and deactivating the automatic parking brake feature

With the power mode is in ON, carry out the following steps to either activate or
deactivate the automatic parking brake feature.

Put the transmission into

(

Without depressing the brake pedal, pull up and release the electric parking brake
switch.

Check that the parking brake and brake system indicator (red) has come on.

Pull up and hold the electric parking brake switch. When you hear a beeping
sound, release the switch and within 3 seconds pull up and hold the switch again.

When you hear a sound indicating that the procedure is completed, release the
switch.

Two beeps indicates that the feature has been activated.

One beep indicates that the feature has been deactivated.

When you have completed activating the feature, the parking brake will
remain applied after you turn off the engine.

To confirm that the parking brake is applied, check if the parking brake and
brake system indicator (red) is on.

If you need to temporarily deactivate the feature while putting your vehicle through
a conveyor type car wash, you can follow the procedure explained below.

Depress the brake pedal and bring the vehicle to a stop.

Set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF and then within 2 seconds push down the
electric parking brake switch.

Activation and deactivation settings for the feature will not be affected.

Before temporarily deactivating the feature, make sure to first turn off both
ACC with Low Speed Follow and the automatic brake hold system.

To confirm that the parking brake is applied, check if the parking brake and
brake system indicator (red) is on.

Parking Brake

In cold climates, the parking brake may freeze in
place if applied.
When parking the vehicle, chock the wheels and
make sure the automatic parking brake feature is
deactivated.
Also, when putting your vehicle through a conveyor-
type car wash or when having your vehicle towed,
deactivate the automatic parking brake feature and
leave the parking brake released.

Brake System

512

Driving

Your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes at all four wheels. The brake assist system
increases the stopping force when you depress the brake pedal hard in an
emergency situation. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps you retain steering
control when braking very hard.

Foot Brake

Foot 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 metallic 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 dealer. 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 vibration of the brake pads against
the rotating brake disc.

Constantly using the brake 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 pedal and downshifting to a
lower gear/speed position.

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 confuse drivers behind you.

Whenever the brakes are activated by CMBS

another system that automatically controls braking,
the brake pedal is depressed and released in
accordance with braking function.

Keeps the brake applied after releasing the brake pedal until the accelerator pedal is

traffic lights and in heavy traffic.

Automatic Brake Hold

Automatic Brake Hold

WARNING

Activating the automatic brake hold system
on steep hills or slippery roads may still
allow the vehicle to move if you remove
your foot from the brake pedal.

If a vehicle unexpectedly moves, it may
cause a crash resulting in serious injury or
death.

Never activate the automatic brake hold
system or rely on it to keep a vehicle from
moving when stopped on a steep hill or
slippery roads.

WARNING

Using the automatic brake hold system to
park the vehicle may result in the vehicle
unexpectedly moving.

If a vehicle moves unexpectedly, it may
cause a crash, resulting in serious injury or
death.

Never leave the vehicle when braking is
temporarily kept by automatic brake hold
and always park the vehicle by putting the
transmission in

and applying the parking

brake.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

Driving

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

Helps prevent the wheels from locking up, and helps you retain steering control by
pumping the brakes rapidly, much faster than you can.

The electronic brake distribution (EBD) system, which is part of the ABS, also
balances the front-to-rear braking distribution according to vehicle loading.

You should never pump the brake pedal. Let the ABS work for you by always
keeping firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal. This is sometimes referred to as
“stomp and steer.”

■

ABS operation

The brake pedal may pulsate slightly when the ABS is working. Depress the brake
pedal and keep holding the pedal firmly down. On dry pavement, you will need to
press on the brake pedal very hard before the ABS activates. However, you may feel
the ABS activate immediately if you are trying to stop on snow or ice.

ABS may activate when you depress the brake pedal when driving on:

•

Wet or snow covered roads.

•

Roads paved with stone.

•

Roads with uneven surfaces, such as potholes, cracks, manholes, etc.

When the vehicle speed goes under 6 mph (10 km/h), the ABS stops.

■

ABS

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

NOTICE

The ABS may not function correctly if you use a tire of
the incorrect size or type.

If the ABS indicator comes on while driving, there
may be a problem with the system. While normal
braking will not be affected, there is a possibility that
the ABS will not be operating. Have your vehicle
checked by a dealer immediately.

The ABS is not designed for the purpose of reducing
the time or distance it takes for a vehicle to stop: It is
designed to limit brake lockup which can lead to
skidding and loss of steering control.

In the following cases, your vehicle may need more
distance to stop than a vehicle without the ABS:

•

You are driving on rough or uneven road surfaces,
such as gravel or snow.

•

The tires are equipped with tire chains

The following may be observed with the ABS system:

•

Motor sounds coming from the engine
compartment when the brakes are applied, or
when system checks are being performed after the
engine has been started and while the vehicle
accelerates.

•

Brake pedal and/or the vehicle body vibration when
ABS activates.

These vibrations and sounds are normal to ABS
systems and are no cause for concern.

Do not park your vehicle near flammable objects,
such as dry grass, oil, or timber.
Heat from the exhaust can cause a fire.

WARNING

simultaneously.

•

Holding the vehicle in place when facing uphill by
depressing the accelerator pedal.

•

before the vehicle

stops completely.

In extremely cold temperatures, the parking brake
may freeze up if applied. If such temperatures are
expected, do not apply the parking brake but, if
parking on a slope, either turn the front wheels so
they will contact the curb if the vehicle rolls down the
slope or block the wheels to keep the vehicle from
moving. If you do not take either precaution, the
vehicle may roll unexpectedly, leading to a crash.

The parking sensor system’s alerting buzzer overrides
the Cross Traffic Monitor buzzer when the sensors
are detecting obstacles at the closest range.

CAUTION

Cross Traffic Monitor cannot detect all
approaching vehicles and may not detect
an approaching vehicle at all.

Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to
back up the vehicle before doing so may
result in a collision.

Do not solely rely on the system when
reversing; always also use your mirrors, and
look behind and to the sides of your vehicle
before reversing.
