ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE
The vehicle is equipped with electric park
brake to guarantee better use and optimal
performance compared to a manually oper-
ated park brake.
The electric parking brake 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 electric parking brake 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 electric parking brake is
engaged automatically when the engine is
stopped. This function can be deactivated/
activated on the Information and Entertain-
ment system by selecting the following items
in sequence on the main menu: "Settings",
"Driver Assistance" and "Automatic Parking
Brake".
In addition to engaging the electric park brake,
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
electric park brake.
Engaging The Park Brake Manually
Briefly pull the switch located on the center
console to manually engage the electric park
brake when the vehicle is stationary.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle when engaging the electric parking
brake.
