Where is the Toyota Electronic Parking Brake Located?

The parking brake is located next to the gear lever on the right side of the driver's seat. The electronic parking brake is button-operated, while the mechanical parking brake is lever-operated. Below are specific details about Toyota: 1.

Recently drove three different Toyota models and was surprised to find their electronic parking brake buttons in completely different locations! The old RAV4 had a small silver button next to the gear shift, while the new Highlander changed it to a black button on the slope beneath the center console. The most unexpected one was the new Sienna - its parking brake is hidden near the air vent on the lower left side of the steering wheel. My advice: look for buttons marked with 'P' first when entering a vehicle. Some models combine this with AUTO HOLD function - a firm brake press at red lights will activate auto hold. If you really can't find it, listen carefully for faint motor sounds when the dashboard parking brake indicator lights up, then follow the sound. Remember: never force the button manually in winter - it's electronically controlled.

Toyota's electronic parking brake comes in three mainstream layouts: in sedans, it's mostly located on the inclined panel behind the gear lever—for example, the Corolla has a ribbed button on the rear side of the shift lever. SUVs typically place it on the lower slope of the center console, like the Highlander, which positions it below the air conditioning panel. MPV models prefer the area to the left of the steering wheel, such as the Sienna, which places it to the right of the light control zone. For hybrid models, note that some with electronic gear levers (e.g., the Camry Hybrid) feature the parking brake button as a metal button with an LED light ring. Look for buttons marked with the letter 'P' and a brake symbol—some high-end models have chrome-trimmed buttons. It automatically activates when turning off the engine and opening the door, but remember to manually release it when starting on a slope.
