Failure Indication; Epb Operation With Overheated Brakes; Emergency Disengagement - Maserati Levante Owner's Manual

In order to disable the automatic
operation follow the same procedures
and select the other option.
CAUTION!
• Under certain conditions when the
battery voltage is low, the electric
automatic parking brake system
may temporarily be deactivated for
safety reasons. Therefore, typically
upon starting the engine, when the
battery voltage drops, a message
may temporarily be displayed,
indicating that automatic operation
is temporarily disabled.

the EPB through the messages shown
on the TFT display, please contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer.

Starting and Driving

Emergency Disengagement

In case of brake lock with complete
electrical system failure, it is necessary
to force the electric actuator on the
rear calipers (see "Emergency Release
of the Parking Brake" chapter in
section "In an Emergency").
EPB Operation with
Overheated Brakes
Driving on mountain roads with steep
slopes or a sports use of the vehicle
could overheat the brake system
components. In these conditions the
parking brake must not be used since
the push of the power actuator might
not be sufficient to ensure vehicle
braking, especially on a slope.
Drive normally without braking to
allow the brakes to cool down a few
minutes before stopping. In this way,
the automatic or manual activation of
the parking brake will ensure vehicle
braking.
