Parking brake
The parking brake prevents the car from roll-
ing away from stationary by means of
mechanically locking/blocking two wheels.
The control for the parking brake is located in the
tunnel console between the seats.
A faint electric motor noise can be heard when
the electrically-operated parking brake is
being applied. The noise can also be heard
during the automatic function checking of the
parking brake.
If the car is stationary when the parking brake
is activated, it only acts on the rear wheels. If
it is activated when the car is moving then the
normal foot brake is used, i.e. the brake acts
on all four wheels. Brake function changes
over to the rear wheels when the car is almost
stationary.
