Starting and Driving
United States Market
Canadian Market
During engagement and disengagement
procedures, the warning light
(United States market) or
(Canadian market) flashes until the
parking brake has reached its maximum
activation force and is respectively fully
released.
In the above-mentioned conditions, the
automatic engagement function can be
deactivated/activated by selecting the
menu item "Vehicle settings" on the main
menu (refer to paragraph "Deactivating
Automatic Operation" in this chapter).
Manual Engagement/
Disengagement
The parking brake can also be manually
engaged or disengaged when the engine
is running or the ignition device is in the
ON position, by pressing the brake pedal
and raising the lever located under the
driver lower side of the dashboard.
When the parking brake is applied, the
warning light (United States
market) or (Canadian market) lights
up for 5 seconds on the instrument
cluster.
If you attempt to engage/disengage the
parking brake without having pressed
the brake pedal, a message will be
displayed, warning you to proceed.
If the engine was turned off when
the automatic engagement device
was deactivated (see “Deactivating
Automatic Operation” in this chapter)
it is possible to shift the parking brake
simply by pulling the lever upward within
3 minutes after turning off.
CAUTION!
The main function of the EPB is to allow
safe parking of the vehicle, therefore it
must only be applied when the vehicle
is already stationary. If the EPB is
used while the vehicle is moving and
decelerating until a speed lower of 3
MPH (5 km/h) and, in particular, until
complete stop (typically in a sudden
brake), it is necessary to have the EPB
system checked by an Authorized
Maserati Dealer.
WARNING!
•
Always hold the brake pedal pressed
during engagement or disengagement
of the parking brake.
•
The EPB command activation while
running generates a deceleration of
the vehicle with strong deceleration
