Emergency Release Of The Electric Parking Brake - Ferrari 458 Italia Manual

3.5 Emergency release of electric parking brake (EPB)
Warning
When the electric parking brake is deactivated manually, the
vehicle may move unexpectedly!
To keep the vehicle stationary, the Park Lock safety device must
be applied: make sure that the letter "P" appears on the display.
If the electric parking brake cannot be deactivated because the
battery is flat or there is a failure in the electrical system that
controls it and the vehicle needs to be moved, the emergency
procedure described below must be performed.
• Open the luggage compartment lid.
• Remove the tool kit cover.
• Take wrench A out of the tool kit to release the electric parking
brake.
• Place the release wrench in the hole (in the left part of the
groove B) and turn it clockwise.

B for releasing the electric parking brake (EPB) is located on the RH rear wheel gravel guard.
This movement loosens the parking brake cables.
To release the brake completely, the wrench needs to be turned
50 times, whereas it starts to be released after approximately
20 turns.
Once the electric parking brake has been manually released, the
EPB node records a failure at the next key-on and a warning light
and the following message "Parking Brake system revision. Go to
dealer" is displayed on the TFT display.
The parking brake resumes normal operation but you must go to
the nearest workshop to have it calibrated and delete any errors
in the error memory.
Warning
Go to a Ferrari Service Centre.
Calibration is necessary for safety reasons.
