Fault indication
The system is controlled by an elec-
tronic control unit signalling possible
failures by turning on the s! warn-
ing light on the multifunction display
together with the message “EPB
FAULT - GO TO DEALER”.
For a higher safety, every time the
parking brake button is pressed dur-
ing a failure, a buzzer will sound to
draw the driver’s attention and the
x warning light will turn on.
If the parking brake does not reach
the required working force (e.g.
when the battery is partially flat),
the instrument panel warning light
x starts flashing.
In case of instrument panel warn-
ing light x fault, the s! warning
light on the multifunction display
turns on together with the message
“EPB INDICATOR FAULT - GO TO
DEALER” to inform the driver
about the dangerous situation.
In case of failure indi-
cated by the related
warning light and mes-
sage turning on, drive carefully to
a Lancia Dealership because the
parking brake might not work.
Emergency disengagement
The electric parking brake is fitted
with an independent battery which
can be used to disengage the brake,
for instance when the car main bat-
tery is completely flat or it has bro-
ken after an accident.
The additional battery, always
kept charged by a dedicated elec-
tronic control unit, can engage and
disengage the parking brake when it
is necessary to push manually the
car.
To engage and disengage the elec-
tric parking brake when the car
main battery is completely flat, turn
the key to MAR and press the main
button on the central console.
