For the first 1,500 miles (2,414 km):

Do not participate in track events, sport
driving schools, or similar activities during
the first 1,500 miles (2,414 km).
NOTE:
Monitor engine oil with every refueling and add
if necessary. Oil and fuel consumption may be
higher through the first oil change interval.
ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE (EPB)
The EPB features a switch located on the
center console, a caliper with motor for each
rear wheel, and an electronic control module.
Electric Park Brake Switch
The EPB can be engaged in two ways:

Manually, by pulling the switch on the
center console.

Automatically, in “Safe Hold” or “Auto Park
Brake” conditions.
NOTE:
Normally, the EPB is engaged automatically
when the engine is stopped. This function can
be deactivated/activated on the Information
and Entertainment system by selecting the
following items in sequence on the main
menu: “Settings”, “Driver Assistance” and
“Automatic Parking Brake”.
In addition to engaging the EPB, along with
steering and positioning chocks in front of the
wheels (when on a steep slope), you must
always place the vehicle in the PARK (P) mode
before leaving.
Should the vehicle battery be faulty, the
battery must be replaced in order to unlock the
EPB.
Engaging The EPB Manually
Briefly pull the switch located on the center
console to manually engage the EPB when the
vehicle is stationary.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle when engaging the EPB.
A slight movement of the brake pedal may be
detected when engaging the EPB with the
brake pedal pressed.
With the EPB engaged, the BRAKE warning
light on the instrument cluster display and the
switch will illuminate.
If, under exceptional circumstances, the use
of the brake is required with the vehicle in
motion, keep the switch on the center console
pulled as long as the brake action is neces -
sary.
The BRAKE warning light may turn on with the
hydraulic system temporarily unavailable; in
this case, braking is controlled by the motors.
The brake lights will also automatically turn on
in the same way as normal braking with the
use of the brake pedal.
Release the switch on the center console to
stop the braking action with the vehicle in
motion.
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
parking brake will definitively engage.
NOTE:
Driving the vehicle with the EPB engaged, or
using it several times to slow down the vehicle,
may cause severe damage to the braking
system.
CAUTION!
With the Electronic Parking Brake failure
warning light on, some functions of the EPB
are deactivated. In this case the driver is
responsible for brake activation and vehicle
parking in complete safety conditions.
