Brakes Applying the Electric Parking Brake When the Vehicle is Moving WARNINGS Applying the electric parking brake while moving will result in use of the anti-lock braking system. Do not use the electric parking brake system when the vehicle is moving unless the normal brake system is unable to stop the vehicle. With the exception of emergency conditions (for example, the brake pedal does not work or is blocked), do not apply the electric parking brake while the vehicle is moving. On bends, or poor road surfaces or weather conditions, emergency braking can cause the vehicle to skid out of control or off the road. If you apply the electric parking brake when your vehicle is moving, the brake system warning lamp will illuminate and a warning tone will sound. See Information Displays (page 105). If your vehicle speed is above 4 mph (6 km/h), the braking force is applied as long as the switch is pulled. Release or press the switch or press the accelerator pedal to stop the braking force. Releasing the Electric Parking Brake E169086 You can release the electric parking brake either manually by pressing the switch or automatically. Manual Release WARNING If the brake system warning light remains illuminated or flashes after you have released the parking brake, there could be a problem with your braking system. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. You can manually release the electric parking brake by: 1. Switching the ignition on. 2. Pressing the brake pedal. 3. Pressing the electric parking brake switch. When the electric parking brake is released, the brake system warning lamp will turn off. Driving With a Trailer Depending on the grade and the weight of the trailer, your vehicle and trailer may roll backwards slightly when you start on a slope. 194 F-150 (), enUSA, First Printing
