Starting and Driving
EPB Operation with
Overheated Brakes
Driving on mountain roads with steep
slopes or a sports use of the vehicle
could overheat the brake system
components. In these conditions,
parking brake must not be used since
the push of the power actuator might
not be sufficient to ensure vehicle
braking, especially on a slope.
Drive normally without braking to
allow the brakes to cool down a few
minutes before stopping. In this way,
the automatic or manual activation of
the parking brake will ensure vehicle
braking.
Parking
Before leaving the vehicle,
make sure
that the parking brake is fully applied
in automatic or manual and place
the transmission lever in the P (Park)
position by pressing the "P" button.
WARNING!
•
Always check that the vehicle is
locked before leaving it.
•
Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle.
•
Do not park the vehicle on paper,
grass, dry leaves or other flammable
materials. They could catch fire if
they come into contact with hot
parts of the exhaust system.
•
Do not leave the engine running
while the vehicle is unattended.
CAUTION!
When you need to park the vehicle on
a steep slope, both with the engine
on and off, it is recommended not
only to engage the parking brake, but
also to shift the transmission lever to
P (Park) before leaving the vehicle. A
warning message on the instrument
cluster could appear when parking
on a steep slope to remember that
only the parking brake could be not
sufficient to stop the vehicle.
When parking on hill roads, it is
important to turn the front wheels
toward the curb on a downhill grade
and away from the curb on an uphill
grade.
Apply the parking brake before
placing the shift lever in P (Park),
otherwise the load on the transmission
locking mechanism may make it
difficult to move the shift lever out of
P (Park).
In certain conditions, it is however
advisable to disengage the parking
brake manually and slightly apply the
service brake for starting off. This is
advisable when there are obstacles
very close to the vehicle in the
direction in which you intend to move.
