ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE

optimal performance compared to a
manually operated park brake.
The electric parking brake features a
switch located on the center console, a
motor with caliper for each rear wheel,
and an electronic control module.
The electric parking brake can be
engaged in two ways:
Manually, by pulling the switch on the
center console.
Automatically, in "Safe Hold" or "Auto
Park Brake" conditions.
Note: Normally, the electric parking
brake is engaged automatically when the
engine is stopped. This function can be
deactivated/activated on the
Information and Entertainment system
by selecting the following items in
sequence on the main menu: "Settings",
"Driver Assistance" and "Automatic
Parking Brake".
In addition to engaging the electric park
brake, along with steering and positioning
chocks in front of the wheels (when on a
steep slope), you must always place the
vehicle in the PARK (P) mode before
leaving.
Should the vehicle battery be faulty, the
battery must be replaced in order to
unlock the electric park brake.
Engaging The Park Brake Manually
Briefly pull the switch located on the
center console to manually engage the
electric park brake when the vehicle is
stationary.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle when engaging the electric
parking brake.
A slight movement of the brake pedal
may be detected when engaging the
electric parking brake with the brake
pedal pressed.
With the electric parking brake engaged,
