10. Remove the access panel from the centre console.
11. Locate the electric parking brake release cable, insert a suitable tool through the cable eye and pull the cable upwards to release the parking brake.
CAUTION:
The electric parking brake will not function until electrical power is restored it will, therefore, be necessary to chock the wheels when vehicle is at a standstill.
WARNING:
Do not release the parking brake until towing is about to commence. Whilst towing, do not attempt to remove the ignition key and do not turn the key to any position other than 'II'. With the engine switched off, the power assisted steering system and brake booster will be inoperative thereby resulting in an increase in the effort required to turn the steering wheel and apply the brakes.
