EPB - Electric parking brake

On this vehicle the parking brake is actuated by an electric motor.
The parking brake can be applied and released by pulling a special
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 114) lights up to indicate when the parking brake
is engaged.
Pull the lever B while holding the brake pedal depressed to release
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 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
the ESP system which prevents locking.

Drive Away function

The electric parking brake (EPB) has a "Drive Away" function:
when a gear is engaged and the driver presses the accelerator
pedal with the engine running and seat belt fastened, the system
recognises the driver's intention to drive off and automatically
deactivates the parking brake.

EPB deactivation warning

If you try to deactivate the electric parking brake by moving lever
without depressing the brake pedal, the message "Depress brake
pedal and deactivate EPB", is immediately displayed on the left TFT
display (even during system diagnosis, see page 145) accompanied
by an acoustic signal.
