EPB - Electric parking brake
On this vehicle the parking brake is actuated by an electric motor.
The parking brake is applied and released by pulling the relative
lever
B
on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel. With the
ignition key turned to II, the relative indicator on the instrument
panel (see page 121) lights up to indicate when the parking brake
is engaged.
Pull the lever
while holding the brake pedal depressed to release
B
the parking brake. If the ignition key is turned to II, the indicator
extinguishes once the parking brake is completely released.
The electric parking brake may 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
is released by communicating with
B
the ESP system which prevents locking.
B
Warning
Always apply the parking brake when the vehicle is parked.
The vehicle should be blocked. If this is not the case, please
contact the Ferrari Service Network.
Drive Away function
The EPB electric parking brake also features a "Drive Away"
function: if the driver engages a gear and presses the accelerator
with the engine running and with the seat belt buckled, the system
recognises the driver's intent to set off and automatically releases
the parking brake.
EPB deactivation warning
If the driver attempts to release the electric parking brake by
pulling the lever
B
without holding the brake pedal depressed, the
message "Depress brake pedal and deactivate EPB" is immediately
shown on the left hand TFT display (even if system diagnosis is in
progress, see page 144), accompanied by an audible warning.
