Warning

•  If the vehicle is driven without ending maintenance mode, it could result in an accident. After performing the maintenance mode work, always end maintenance mode.

Caution

•  Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. Be careful not to spill any on painted surfaces. In addition, if there is any brake fluid on the wiring harness, the wire insulation may corrode causing a malfunction such as a short circuit. If brake fluid gets on a painted surface or wiring harness, wash and flush it off completely with water immediately.

Note

•  When transitioning to maintenance mode, the electronically controlled brake unit and the electric parking brake functions stop.

•  When transitioning to maintenance mode, the clearance between the rear disc pads and the rear disc plates expands.

•  When the maintenance mode is completed, perform the electric parking brake automatic adjustment.

•  With the electric parking brake automatic adjustment, the electric parking brake motor gear unit operation time is longer than normal.
