Aston Martin One-77 2010 Owner's Manual page 99

The park brake operates on the rear wheels of
the vehicle. Secure parking of the vehicle is
dependent on being on a hard and stable surface.
To release the park brake the ignition control must be
at position 'II'. First apply pressure to the foot brake
then press down on the park brake switch and release.
Drive Away Release
Do not exit the vehicle with the engine
operating and the transmission in D (drive) or R
(reverse). If the transmission is left in D or R the
vehicle could overcome the park brake and start to
move.
When parked with the park brake applied, select a
forward or reverse gear, press the throttle pedal and
the park brake will release as the vehicle moves
forwards or backwards.
The park brake will not release when moving from a
standstill if a vehicle door or the lift glass is open - in this
case the park brake must be released with the park
brake switch.
Park Brake Operation While Moving
Driving the vehicle with the park brake applied
or repeated use of the park brake to slow the
vehicle can cause serious damage to the brake
system.
In an emergency, with the vehicle travelling at more
than 6 km/h, pull up on the park brake lever and hold
to give a gradual reduction in speed. The brake
warning symbol will come ON, a warning sound will
be heard and CAUTION PARK BRAKE APPLIED will
show in the message centre (right).
Release the switch to cancel the park brake
application.
