WARNING
 Try to avoid using forced EPB
braking; only in case of
emergencies such as foot
brake failure or brake pedal
block, driver may start using
the emergency brake function.
 Because it is impossible for
EPB to surpass the physical
limits of road adhesive force,
starting emergency braking
function when passing through
curves, dangerous or crowded
road, or driving in severe
weather conditions may cause
drift, sideslip or side-slipping of
the car. Beware of accident!
