Automatic release
1. Start the engine.
NOTE
• For safety reasons, the parking brake is

• The electric parking brake will be
released immediately when the accelerator
pedal is pressed and the gear selector

Heavy load uphill
A heavy load, such as a trailer, can cause the vehicle to roll backward when the parking brake is released automatically on a steep incline. To help avoid this:
1. Keep the electric parking brake lever pushed in with the left hand while shifting into Drive with the right.
2. While pressing the throttle pedal to pull away, release the parking brake lever only after the vehicle begins to move.
