Electric parking brake

An electric parking brake has the same function as a manual parking brake.
NOTE
• A faint sound from the parking brake's
electric motor can be heard when the
parking brake is being applied. This
sound can also be heard during the
automatic function check of the parking
brake.
• The brake pedal will move slightly when
the electric parking brake is applied or
released.
