The Electric Parking Brake (EPB) light should come on briefly as the engine is started. If it does not come on, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer.

A message may also display in the Driver Information Center (DIC). See Brake System Messages  for more information.

If the light does not come on, or remains flashing, see your dealer.
