EPB - Electric parking brake
On this vehicle the parking brake is actuated by an electric motor.
The parking brake can be applied and released by pulling a special lever B
on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel. When the instrument
panel has been activated (KEY-ON), the relative warning light comes on
on the instrument panel to indicate that the parking brake is engaged
To release the parking brake, pull lever B and keep the brake pedal
pressed. If the instrument panel is activated, the warning light goes out
when the parking brake has been fully released.
The electric parking brake can be used as an emergency brake when the
vehicle is in motion. If this is the case, the system acts on all four wheels
until button
B is released by communicating with the ESP system which
prevents locking.
Warning
Always apply the parking brake when the vehicle is parked. The vehicle
should be blocked. If this is not the case, please contact the Ferrari
Service Network.

Autopark function
B
C
The EPB Autopark function automatically activates the electric parking
brake when the engine is switched off. This means that the driver does not
have to apply the parking brake every time the engine stops.
However, the function can be temporarily deactivated before switching off
the engine by pressing the
AUTO PARK button C : the message “PARK
OFF” is displayed on the left TFT display for 5 seconds. In this case, after
the engine is switched off, the parking brake must be engaged manually
by pulling the lever
B . To re-enable automatic EPB engagement at the
next key-off, press the button C again; the message “PARK ON” is
displayed on the left TFT display for 5 seconds.
“Automatic Vehicle Holding” AVH function
The electric parking brake provides optimised release when the vehicle
starts up due to its Automatic Vehicle Holding function: once the engine
has started, the system keeps the vehicle braked through intervention of
the braking system rather than through the parking brake shoes.
