Control indicator j flashes: electric
parking brake is not fully applied or

Brake assist
If the brake pedal is depressed
quickly and forcefully, maximum
brake force is automatically applied.
The operation of the brake assist
might become apparent by a pulse in
the brake pedal and a greater
resistance when depressing the
brake pedal.
Maintain steady pressure on the
brake pedal as long as full braking is
required. Maximum brake force is
automatically reduced when brake
pedal is released.
Hill start assist
The system helps prevent unintended
movement when driving away on
inclines.
When releasing the brake pedal after
stopping on an incline, brakes remain
on for further two seconds. The
brakes release automatically as soon
as the vehicle begins to accelerate.
The system is active if the following
conditions are met:
● vehicle stationary
● brake pedal depressed
● driver's door closed

Regenerative braking
9 Warning
In the case of extreme
temperatures or if the high voltage
battery is almost fully charged, the
brake force of the engine braking
may be temporarily reduced. If the
braking force is not sufficient, the
driver has to be prepared to use
the brake pedal.
9 Warning
Depending on the engine braking
force the brake lights are
illuminated.
Regenerative braking generates
electrical energy resulting from
engine braking to charge the high
voltage battery.
