4.4 PARKING BRAKE
This vehicle is equipped with an automatic parking brake system. When the vehicle
comes to a halt, the automatic parking brake will engage automatically after a short
delay (approximately 3 seconds). Until the parking brake is activated, an applied motor
brake will keep the vehicle steady until the parking brake is activated.
When the car starts moving in response to the accelerator pedal, the parking brake
will release automatically. The automatic parking brake can be switched off for towing
or repairing needs, however, note that this also enables most electrical functions on
the vehicle.
When the vehicle is not driving, the parking brake symbol appears in the instrument
cluster, unless if the vehicle power has been turned off by either the ignition or main
power switch. The parking brake will still be activated when vehicle power is turned off,
although this does not appear in the instrument cluster.
If the parking brake is not functioning as described above, ensure that a qualified re-
pair shop performs a parking brake check. Garia recommends that service is provided
by an Authorized Garia Service Dealer.
