AFFECTED VEHICLES:

DESCRIPTION:

The drive away function which releases the EPB upon take off may be delayed if the customer enters the car and drives away within 1 - 1.5 seconds.


The Parking Brake Module (PBM) needs to receive data from other control modules before it will release the EPB.

Service software has been developed to prevent this delay.
