Static Apply/Release

Static apply mode will operate in all Power Modes. When the Electric Park Brake (EPB) switch is in the apply direction, the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) control module activates the 2 EPB actuators to apply the brakes. The ABS control module also signals the Instrument Cluster (IC) to turn on the EPB indicator lamp. The warning indicator stays on continuously in Power Mode 6, and it stays on for 30 seconds after Power Mode 0 or 4 are selected.

For the static release mode to operate, Power Mode 6 or higher must be selected with either the brake or accelerator pedal pressed. When the EPB switch is operated to the release position, the ABS control module activates the 2 EPB actuators to release the brakes. The ABS control module signals the IC to turn off the EPB indicator lamp.
