Some customers may comment that the red brake light on the instrument panel intermittently comes on.
This may be due to the vehicle automatically applying the electronic parking brake (EPB) when the vehicle is not moving.
This is normal and is done periodically (every 50 key cycles) to check the correct operation of the EPB system.
Please communicate to the customer this condition is a normal operating characteristic of their vehicle. It will not impact the designed performance or reliability of the vehicle. Please share this information with the customer, including a copy of this message.
