Parking Brake Emergency Release
- The following procedure is for releasing the parking brake when EPB failure occurs.
- This is the last resort for releasing the EPB when the parking brake cannot be released electrically or by using a diagnosis scanner because of motor or EPB damage, or power line disconnection.
- The task must be performed on a flat surface and with safe surroundings. When you release the parking brake, be sure to keep the vehicle stationary.
(Perform this task only after you make sure that preventive measures are taken in case the vehicle moves when the parking brake is released.)
- Use a standard hexagonal wrench to remove the screw (A) on the back of the rear caliper (2 of them)
- Using the same hexagonal wrench, turn the hexagon part on the floor inside the spindle (B) clockwise by 0.5-1 complete turn.
- The parking brake is released.
