EPB - Electric parking brake
On this vehicle the parking brake is actuated by an electric motor.
The parking brake can be applied and released by pulling a special
lever
A on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel. With the
ignition key turned to II, the relative indicator on the instrument
panel (see page 152) lights up to indicate when the parking brake
is engaged.
To release the parking brake, pull lever
A and keep the brake pedal
pressed. If the ignition key is in position II, the warning light will go
out when the parking brake has been fully released.
The electric parking brake can be used as an emergency brake
when the vehicle is in motion. If this is the case, the system acts on
all four wheels until button
A is released by communicating with
the ESP system which prevents locking.
Warning
Always apply the parking brake when the vehicle is parked.
The vehicle should be blocked. If this is not the case, please
contact the Ferrari Service Network.
Drive Away function
The ele
ctric parking brake (EPB) has a “Drive Away” function:
when a gear is engaged and the driver presses the accelerator
pedal with the engine running and seat belt fastened, the system
recognises the driver's intention to drive off and automatically
deactivates the parking brake.
EPB deactivation warning
If you try to deactivate the electric parking brake by moving lever
A without depressing the brake pedal, the message “Depress brake
pedal and deactivate EPB” is immediately displayed on the TFT
display accompanied by an acoustic signal.
