Brakes
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 the event of a failure, a PARKBRAKE
message will be displayed in the message
centre.
EPB release - automatic transmission:
If the vehicle is stationary with the EPB applied
and the transmission in D or R, pressing the
accelerator will release the EPB and allow the
vehicle to move off.
In an emergency, with the vehicle travelling
more than 3km/h (2mph), pulling on the EPB
lever and holding gives a gradual reduction in
speed. The brake warning indicator will
illuminate accompanied by a warning tone and
a PARKBRAKE message appearing in the
message centre. The stop lamps will illuminate.
Note: Automatic release of the EPB is possible
only when the driver’s door is closed and the
driver’s seat belt is buckled.
To delay automatic release, hold the EPB lever
in the applied position and release at the
desired point.
EPB AUTOMATIC USE
EPB will be applied automatically if the ignition
is switched off and the vehicle speed is below
3km/h (2mph).
The parking brake system gradually reduces
the system load to assist a smooth drive away.
If the reduction in system load causes the
vehicle to move after a valid gear is selected,
full load will be automatically re-applied to the
parking brake.
To prevent automatic operation, when the
vehicle is stationary, press and hold the EPB
switch in the release position. Within 5
seconds, switch off the ignition and continue to
hold the EPB switch for a further 2 seconds.
To override the load reducing feature of the
EPB, manually apply the parking brake after
selecting a gear.
EPB release - manual transmission:
If the vehicle is stationary with the EPB applied,
pressing the accelerator and releasing the
clutch will release the EPB and allow the vehicle
to move off.
In the event of a failure, a PARKBRAKE
message will be displayed in the message
centre.
At the start of a journey, EPB release times may
be extended when changing from P or N. This
is to allow for increased gear engagement
times.
Automatic release will operate in first, second
and reverse gears.
To delay automatic release, hold the EPB lever
in the applied position, and release at the
desired point.
EPB WARNING INDICATORS
The parking brake system gradually reduces
the system load to assist a smooth drive away.
If the reduction in system load causes the
vehicle to move after a valid gear is selected,
full load will be automatically re-applied to the
parking brake.
If the system detects a fault with the EPB, the
amber brake warning indicator will illuminate
accompanied by a message on the message
centre.
If the system detects a fault while EPB is
operating, the red brake warning indicator will
flash and a PARKBRAKE FAULT message will
display in the message centre.
To override the load reducing feature of the
EPB, manually apply the parking brake after
selecting a gear.
