Starting and Driving
Emergency Disengagement
In case of brake lock with complete
electrical system failure, it is necessary
to force the electric actuator on the
rear calipers (see “Emergency Release
of the Parking Brake” chapter in
section “In an Emergency”).
EPB Operation with
Overheated Brakes
Driving on mountain roads with steep
slopes or a sports use of the vehicle
could overheat the brake system
components. In these conditions,
parking brake must not be used since
the push of the power actuator might
not be sufficient to ensure vehicle
braking, especially on a slope.
Drive normally without braking to
allow the brakes to cool down a few
minutes before stopping. In this way,
the automatic or manual activation of
the parking brake will ensure vehicle
braking.
Parking
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure
that the parking brake is fully applied
in automatic or manual and place
the transmission lever in the P (Park)
position by pressing the “P” button.
WARNING!
•
Always check that the vehicle is
locked before leaving it.
• Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle.
•
Do not park the vehicle on paper,
grass, dry leaves or other flammable
materials. They could catch fire if
they come into contact with hot
parts of the exhaust system.
•
Do not leave the engine running
while the vehicle is unattended.
CAUTION!
• When you need to park the
vehicle on a steep slope, both
with the engine on and off, it is
recommended not only to engage
the parking brake, but also to shift
the transmission lever to P (Park)
before leaving the vehicle. A warning
message on the instrument cluster
could appear when parking on a
