Starting and Driving
In the above-mentioned condition, the
automatic engagement function can be
deactivated/activated by selecting the
"Auto Park Brake" (refer to "Functions
of Settings Menu on MIA" in section
"Dashboard Instruments and Controls").
Manual Engagement/
Disengagement
The parking brake can also be manually
engaged when the engine is not running
or the ignition device is in the
STOP
position, raising the lever located under
the driver lower side of the dashboard.
The disengagement is performed only
when the engine is running or the ignition
device is in the
ON position, by pressing
the brake pedal, pushing the lever
located under the driver lower side of
the dashboard.
The warning light
lights up on
the cluster display for all the time it is
applied.
If you attempt to disengage the parking
brake without having pressed the brake
pedal, a message will be displayed,
warning you to press the brake pedal.
If the engine was turned off when the
automatic engagement device was
deactivated it is possible to shift the
parking brake simply by pulling the lever
upward.
CAUTION!
The main function of the EPB is to allow
safe parking of the vehicle, therefore it
must only be applied when the vehicle is
already stationary.
WARNING!
•
Always hold the brake pedal pressed
during disengagement of the parking
brake.
• The EPB command activation while
running generates a deceleration of
the vehicle with strong deceleration
(Dynamic Braking). It is therefore
recommended to use this function only
in case of emergency. The stability of
the car is guaranteed by the action of
the activated ESC system.
• It is advisable to keep the “Auto Park
Brake” function always active (On) so
that the vehicle is properly secured
with electric parking brake.
Failure Indication
In the event of electric parking brake
system failure, the warning light
on
the display will light up.
In addition, the warning light
will
flash for 10 seconds.
WARNING!
In the event of an EPB failure, take your
vehicle to the nearest Service Network
Centre as soon as possible.
