ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB)
Do not rely on the Electric Parking
Brake (EPB) to hold the vehicle
stationary if the brake warning lamp is
illuminated or the EPB warning lamp
is flashing. Seek qualified assistance
urgently.
The EPB system operates on the rear
wheels. Therefore, secure parking of
the vehicle is dependent on being on a
hard and stable surface.
Do not rely on the EPB to operate
effectively, if the rear wheels have been
immersed in mud or water.
Note: If the vehicle is used in severe off-road
conditions (e.g. wading, deep mud, etc.), extra
maintenance and adjustment of the EPB will be
required. Consult a Dealer/Authorised Repairer
for more information.
1. With the ignition turned on, depress the
brake pedal, then press down and release
the EPB switch. This will release the EPB.
2. With the vehicle stationary, pull up and
release the EPB switch. This will apply the
EPB. The parking brake warning lamp will
illuminate to indicate that the parking brake
is applied. See 44, PARKING BRAKE
(RED).
If the system detects a fault while the EPB is
operating, the red parking brake warning lamp
will flash, accompanied by a warning in the
Message centre.
If the system detects a fault with the EPB
system, the amber brake warning lamp will
illuminate accompanied by a warning in the
Message centre. See 44, BRAKE (AMBER).
Note: The red parking brake warning lamp will
continue to be illuminated for at least ten
seconds after the ignition has been turned off.
If the EPB is operated when the vehicle's speed
is less than 3 km/h (2 mph), the vehicle will be
brought to an abrupt stop. The stop lamps will
not be illuminated.
Driving the vehicle with the parking
brake applied, or repeated use of the
parking brake to slow the vehicle, may
cause serious damage to the brake
system.
In an emergency, with the vehicle travelling at
more than 3 km/h (2 mph), pulling up on the
EPB switch and holding, gives a gradual
reduction in the speed. The brake warning lamp
will illuminate accompanied by a warning tone
and a warning message in the Message centre.
The stop lamps will illuminate. See 43, BRAKE
(RED).
Note: Automatic release of the EPB is only
possible when the driver’s door is fully closed
or the driver’s seat belt is buckled.
To delay the automatic release, hold the EPB
switch in the applied position and release it at
the desired point. The EPB system gradually
releases to assist in a smooth drive away.
