In an Emergency
• place the extension levers, the jack,
the spanner and the adapter in the
container inside the compact spare
wheel;
• reposition the other tools and the
accessories storage box;
• lower the ground coverage at the
bottom of the boot compartment.
Emergency Release of the
Parking Brake
In the event the electric parking brake
locks due to a system failure (see
“Parking Brake” in section “Driving”),
it is not possible to move the vehicle,
since the thrust action of the power
actuator that operates on the brake
pad inside each rear caliper will lock
the rear wheels.
After verifying that the battery is
sufficiently charged (otherwise use an
external power source connected to
the vehicle electric system to operate
the EPB control lever and try to unlock
the parking brake), for moving the
vehicle it is necessary to act on the
power actuator or caliper in order to
release the pressure on the pads of the
rear brake calipers. Contact the
Service
Network to carry out this operation.
CAUTION!
If the parking brake has been
activated in manual or automatic
mode and it is not possible to release
it by operating on the lever of the
central console, do not move the
vehicle since rear brake calipers might
be damaged. To move the vehicle,
load it on a rescue vehicle, avoiding to
move it if only the rear axle is lifted,
since the torque converter of AWD
system might be seriously damaged.

Vehicle" chapter in this section.
