While in service mode, the Electric Parking Brake fault

lamp will flash continuously while the ignition switch is

ON.
When brake service work is complete, the following steps

must be followed to reset the parking brake system to

normal operation:

• Ensure the vehicle is at a standstill.
• Press the brake pedal with moderate force.
• Apply the Electric Parking Brake Switch.

WARNING!

You can be badly injured working on or around a
motor vehicle. Do only that service work for which you
have the knowledge and the right equipment. If you
have any doubt about your ability to perform a service
job, take your vehicle to a competent mechanic.

BRAKE SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic brake

systems. If either of the two hydraulic systems loses

normal capability, the remaining system will still func-

tion. However, there will be some loss of overall braking

effectiveness. You may notice increased pedal travel

during application, greater pedal force required to slow

or stop, and potential activation of the “Brake System

Warning Light.”
In the event power assist is lost for any reason (i.e.,

repeated brake applications with the engine off) the

brakes will still function. However, the effort required to

brake the vehicle will be much greater than that required

with the power system operating.
