Driving
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.
If the EPB is used while the vehicle
is moving and decelerating until a
speed lower of 5 km/h (3 mph) and,
in particular, until complete stop
(typically in a sudden brake), it is
necessary to have the EPB system
checked by the
Service Network .
WARNING!
•
Always hold the brake pedal
pressed during engagement or
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 feature
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
Apply” function always active
(On) so that the vehicle is properly
secured with electric parking brake.
