After a power failure
Only put the parking brake into operation after a power failure
The parking brake should only be put into operation again if it was manually released due to an interruption in the supply of electrical power. Otherwise, it cannot be ensured that the parking brake will function properly.
Putting the parking brake into operation
1. Switch on the ignition.
2. Press the switch while the brake is depressed or transmission position P is engaged.
It may take several seconds for the brake to be put into operation. Any sounds associated with this are normal.
The indicator lamp in the instrument cluster goes out as soon as the parking brake is ready for operation.
Lower lamp: indicator lamp in Canadian models.
