Emergency Release of the
Parking Brake
In the event the electric parking brake
locks due to a system failure (see
"Parking Brake" in section "Driving"),
it is not possible to move the vehicle,
since the thrust action of the actuator
that operates on the brake pad inside
each rear caliper will lock the rear
wheels.
After verifying that the battery is
sufficiently charged (otherwise use an
external power source connected to
the vehicle electric system to operate
the EPB control lever and try to unlock
the parking brake), for moving the
vehicle it is necessary to force the
actuator to release the rear brake
discs. Contact the Service Network to
carry out this operation.
CAUTION!
If the parking brake has been
activated in manual or automatic
mode and it is not possible to release it
by operating on the lever of the
central console, do not move the
vehicle since rear brake calipers might
be damaged. To move the vehicle, load
it on a rescue vehicle, avoiding to
move it if only the rear axle is lifted,
since the torque converter of AWD
system might be seriously damaged.

Vehicle" chapter in this section.
