Parking brake engagement is managed by electric actuator motors mounted directly to each rear brake caliper, eliminating traditional mechanical cables in favor of computerized clamping logic.
How to Fix It:
-
Engage and Release EPB: Pull the center console toggle switch upward to apply the electronic parking brake (indicated by a red light on the dash); press the brake pedal down and push the switch downward to release it.
-
Utilize Auto Hold: Press the AUTO HOLD button near the shifter while the engine is running and doors are closed; the vehicle will automatically hold brake pressure at complete stops until you press the accelerator pedal.
-
Service Mode for Brake Changes: When replacing rear brake pads, connect a diagnostic scan tool or use the specific ignition/pedal sequence to retract the electronic caliper pistons into service mode before attempting to push pistons back.
