ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB)
The parking brakes operate on the rear
wheels. Therefore, secure parking of the
vehicle is dependent on being on a hard
and stable surface.
The switch which operates the EPB is mounted
on the centre console, to the rear of the gear
selector.
To disengage the EPB (1): With the ignition
system on, or with the engine running, apply
the brake pedal and press down on the EPB
switch.
The Drive away release feature allows the EPB
to release automatically as the vehicle is driven
away.
If the EPB is applied while the vehicle is
stationary and D or R is selected, applying the
throttle will automatically release the EPB.
Note: Automatic release of the EPB is only
possible when the driver’s door is closed, or
the driver’s seat belt is buckled.
The EPB is also automatically released when
the gear selector is moved from the P position.
If the EPB is inadvertently applied when the
vehicle is moving at above 3 km/h (1.8 mph),
Caution! Park Brake Applied is displayed in the
Message centre, the warning indicator in the
Instrument panel will illuminate and a warning
chime will sound.
If the EPB is applied while the vehicle is moving,
releasing the switch or pressing the accelerator
will disengage the EPB.
Note: If the accelerator pedal is already pressed
before the EPB switch has been pulled up, the
EPB will be applied.
Note: If the vehicle is in motion, the EPB should
only be used as an emergency brake.
Always apply the EPB when the vehicle
is parked.
To engage the EPB (2): Pull the EPB switch
upwards and release. The switch will return to
the neutral position.
The EPB warning lamp in the Instrument panel
will illuminate. See 45, PARKING BRAKE (RED).
The warning lamp in the Instrument panel will
remain on for a short time, if the EPB is applied
when the ignition system is reverted to
Convenience mode.
If a fault in the system is detected, Park Brake
Fault or Cannot Apply Park Brake will be
displayed in the Message centre. Seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.
If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected, Apply Foot And Park Brake will
be displayed in the Message centre when the
ignition is next switched on. Press the brake
pedal and pull the EPB switch up to apply the
EPB. This is required to reset the EPB system.
The EPB will now function correctly.
