If you are towing a trailer and parking on a hill, see Towing a Trailer (CTS-V) on page 4-29 or Towing a Trailer (CTS) on page 4-29 for more information. Electric Parking Brake Vehicles with the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) have a switch in the center console. { CAUTION: On vehicles with a manual transmission, releasing the clutch and pressing the accelerator will release the Electric Parking Brake. If the vehicle is not in a gear, the vehicle could move, and you or others could be injured. Make sure the vehicle is in a gear before attempting to drive away. To avoid unexpected vehicle movement, do not partially release the clutch or press the accelerator pedal until you are ready to release the parking brake and drive away. The EPB takes the place of the manual parking brake system, the foot pedal and release handle. The system has two warning lights and five Driver Information Center (DIC) messages. See Brake System Warning Light on page 3-38 and DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-57 for more information. In case of insufficient electrical power, the EPB cannot be applied or released. 2-45
