Electric Parking Brake - Ferrari 458 Italia Owner's Manual

EPB - Electric parking brake
On this vehicle the parking brake is actuated by an electric motor.
The parking brake can be applied and released using the special
control B on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel. A
special warning light comes on on the panel to indicate that the
parking brake has been applied (see page 117).
It is deactivated by pushing down the brake pedal and pressing
button B. The warning light will go off when the parking brake has
been released completely.
The electric parking brake can be used as an emergency brake
when the vehicle is in motion. If this is the case, the system acts on
all four wheels until button B is released by communicating with
the ESP system which prevents locking.
