Releasing the parking brake when driving away
Important: The driver's door must be closed and the driver's seat belt must be buckled.
Press the accelerator in the normal way: the parking brake will be released automatically and the vehicle will start moving.
You can apply the parking brake when stopping at traffic lights, etc. You do not then have to hold the car with the brake pedal, as the parking brake will stop it creeping forward while a gear is engaged in the automatic transmission. When you drive off in the normal way, the parking brake will be released automatically and the vehicle will start moving.
Driving away on a slope
When driving away on a gradient, the parking brake auto release function prevents the vehicle from rolling back unintentionally. The braking force of the parking brake is only released when there is enough power at the wheels to make the vehicle move in the desired direction.
Note
For safety reasons the parking brake will only release automatically if the driver's seat belt is engaged in its buckle and the driver's door is closed.
