gently prying at the two notches in the
panel;

pipe;
- Turn the handle anticlockwise until it is
released;
- Remove the tool from the pipe and refi t the
cover.
CAUTION
After each manual emergency
release, the electric parking brake
system will be inefficient until its
operation is corrected by an Authorised
Service Centre of the Manufacturer’s
Network.
