Lowering the airbrake - vehicle stationary
If the car is being parked and the airbrake is still
deployed, press and hold the AERO button for
5 seconds, and the airbrake will start to lower.
Keep the button pressed until the airbrake is
fully lowered, remaining alert to any potential
obstructions.
WARNING: Before lowering, check the
airbrake for any objects which may
obstruct movement, e.g. branches or
leaves, and remove them or the airbrake
may no longer function correctly. The driver
is responsible for ensuring no person or
object can be trapped during airbrake
movement.
NOTE: If the AERO button is released
before the airbrake is fully retracted, it will
return to the previously selected position.
Rapid braking position
During hard braking at speeds above 60 mph
(95 kph), the airbrake automatically rises to the
fully deployed position to provide maximum
braking assistance.
Once the pressure on the brake pedal is
released, the airbrake will return to its previous
position - either the driver selected downforce
position or the normal driving position.
WARNING: When activated by hard
braking, the airbrake will temporarily
block the view through the interior mirror. In
this case, monitor the traffic behind you
through the exterior mirrors.
NOTE: The airbrake will lower just before
the vehicle comes to a halt during hard
braking.
