Control mode during acceleration:
NOTE:
Releasing gas pedal, pressing brake
pedal or quickly changing direction.
Parking Brake
The vehicle is equipped with an
electric automatic parking brake, also
called EPB (Electric Parking Brake).
The EPB braking action acts on the
braking system equipped with a
dedicated caliper which acts on each
rear brake disc.
It can be automatically engaged
when the engine is turned off and
disengaged with engine running,
driver seatbelt latched and driver door
closed, while pressing the brake pedal
and operating the shift buttons only if
the "Autoapply" function is activated
on the MIA screen (see paragraph
"Functions of Controls Menu on MIA"
in section "Instrument and Controls").
Furthermore, EPB can be automatically
engaged above a slope threshold
with transmission in parking to avoid
damage to the vehicle. EPB can be
disengaged before to turn off the
vehicle.
When the parking brake is applied,
the warning light (United
States market) or (Canadian
market) lights up on the instrument
cluster for 5 seconds (see "Warning
and Indication Lights" in section
"Instruments and Controls").
