Braking when vehicle is moving
When the vehicle is moving and the
switch j is kept pulled, the electric
parking brake system will decelerate
the vehicle. As soon as the switch
j is released, braking will be
stopped.
The antilock brake system and the
Electronic Stability Control stabilise
the vehicle while the switch j is kept
pulled. If an error of the electric
parking brake occurs, a warning
message is displayed in the driver
information centre. If the antilock
brake system and the Electronic
Stability Control fail, one or both
indicators i and J illuminate in the
instrument cluster. In this case,
stability during deceleration of the
vehicle can only be maintained with
repeated short pulls of the switch until
the vehicle is immobilised.
