When an electronic parking brake that will not release occurs, first check whether the car remains safe to control. Keep the car secured on level ground and do not drive until the brake fully releases. If the symptom is mild and no critical warning appears, note the conditions and arrange a timely inspection.
The owner’s manual gives the vehicle-specific response for warning lights. Follow the owner’s manual emergency procedure; never force the vehicle to move against the brake. Do not continue a test drive when the car’s behavior becomes unsafe.
Quick educational note
For information, not a diagnosis or repair instruction. Vehicle-specific checks are still required. Consult the manufacturer's guidance and a qualified technician.
