Electric parking brake
The vehicle is equipped with an
electric parking brake (EPB).
It is designed to automatically engage
when the engine is turned off and
to disengage when, with the engine
running, the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
When the electric parking brake is
engaged, with the key turned to
STOP (OFF) , the warning light
illuminates on the instrument panel
and the words “EPB ON” appear on
the display.
During engagement and
disengagement, the warning light
flashes until the maximum
engagement force and full release
have been reached.
In the above conditions, the
automatic activation function can be
deactivated/activated by pressing the
button
A on the dashboard.
During engagement or
disengagement of the
electric parking brake,
always hold the brake pedal
depressed.
WARNING: When you need to park
the vehicle on a steep slope, both
with the engine running and off, it
is recommended not only to apply
the electric parking brake but also to
move the gearshift lever to P (PARK)
before leaving the vehicle.
When the EPB button is
activated while driving,
the vehicle slows down
with strong deceleration (Dynamic
Braking). It is therefore advisable to
use this function only in the event
of an emergency. The ESC system,
however is always on, and it will
help to maintain the stability of the
vehicle.

automatically applied when the
engine is turned off and the vehicle is
stationary.
It can only be disengaged when the
engine is restarted.
If the key has been removed or is
in position
STOP (OFF) , it cannot be
disengaged.
The electric parking brake can also be
manually applied when the vehicle
is moving or the key is in
MAR (ON)
position by pulling up the lever B .
