STARTING AND OPERATING
112
If, through this procedure, the vehicle is
braked until a speed below 1.9 mph (3 km/
h) is reached and the switch is kept pulled,
the park brake will definitively engage.
NOTE:
Driving the vehicle with the electric parking
brake engaged, or using it several times to
slow down the vehicle, may cause severe
damage to the braking system.
Disengaging The Electric Park Brake Manually
In order to manually release the park brake,
the ignition should be in the ON mode. Press
the brake pedal, and then push the switch on
the center console briefly.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle, and a slight movement of the brake
pedal may be detected during disengage

After disengaging the electric parking brake,
the BRAKE warning light on the instrument
panel and the light on the switch will turn
off.
If the BRAKE warning light on the instru -
ment panel remains on with the electric
parking brake disengaged, this indicates a
fault: in this case, contact an authorized
dealer.


"Dynamic Operating Mode": this mode is
activated by pulling the switch repeatedly
while driving.

"Static Engagement and Release Mode":
with the vehicle stationary, the electric
park brake can be activated by pulling the
switch on the center console once. On the
other hand, push the switch and the brake
pedal at the same time to disengage the
brake.

"Drive Away Release": the electric park
brake will automatically disengage with
the driver side seat belt fastened and the

NOTE:
If the car is equipped with carbon-ceramic
brake discs it is necessary to fasten the seat
belts or turn off the electric park brake
before starting to avoid damages to the
ceramic brake discs.

WARNING!

Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.

Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat -

ously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the park brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.

Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle or in a location accessible to chil

dren. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.

Be sure the park brake is fully disen -
gaged before driving; failure to do so can
lead to brake failure and a collision.

Always fully apply the park brake when
leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and
cause damage or injury.
CAUTION!
Never use gear position PARK (P) instead
of the electric parking brake. Always
engage the electric parking brake when
parking the vehicle to prevent injury or
damage caused by the unexpected
movement of the vehicle.
