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 switch 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
the ESP system which prevents locking.

Autopark Function

The EPB Autopark function automatically activates the electric
parking brake when the engine is switched off. At each Key-on, the
Autopark function is always active by default: this means that the
driver does not need to apply the parking brake when the engine is
switched off.
However, the function can be temporarily deactivated before
switching off the engine by pressing the AUTO PARK
the message "PARK OFF" is displayed on the left TFT display for
5 seconds. In this case, after the engine is switched off, the parking
brake must be engaged manually by pulling the lever B. To re-
enable automatic EPB engagement at the next key-off, press the
button again; the message "PARK ON" is displayed on the left
C
TFT display for 5 seconds.

The Automatic Vehicle Holding function of the electric parking
brake ensures optimised release when moving off from a standstill:
after engine start, the system uses the service brakes to hold the
vehicle instead of the parking brake shoes.
