EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST (EBA)
The EBA system measures the rate at which the
brake pressure increases. If the system detects
an emergency braking situation, EBA
automatically initiates full braking effect. This
can reduce stopping distances in critical
situations.
A fault with the EBA system is indicated by the
brake warning lamp illuminating and
Emergency Brake Assist Not Available
displaying in the message center. The braking
system will still function, but without EBA
assistance. Seek qualified assistance to have
the fault rectified.
ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB)
Do not rely on the parking brake to hold the
vehicle stationary if the brake warning
indicator is illuminated or the EPB warning
indicator is flashing. Seek qualified
assistance urgently.
The switch which operates the parking brake is
mounted on the center console to the rear of
the gear selector.
To disengage the parking brake (1): With the
ignition system on or with the engine running,
apply the foot brake and press the parking
brake switch down.
If the parking brake is applied while the vehicle
is stationary and D or R is selected, applying
the throttle will automatically release the
parking brake.
The parking brake is also automatically
released when the gear selector is moved from
the P position.
If the parking brake is inadvertently applied
when the vehicle is moving at above 1.8 mph (3
km/h), Caution! Park Brake Applied is
displayed in the message center, the warning
lamp in the instrument panel will illuminate and
a warning chime will sound.
If the parking brake is applied while the vehicle
is moving, releasing the switch will disengage
the parking brake. The parking brake cannot be
applied when the vehicle is moving, if the
accelerator pedal is pressed.
Note: If the vehicle is in motion, the parking
brake should only be used as an emergency
brake.
Always apply the parking brake when the
vehicle is parked.
To engage the parking brake (2): Pull the
parking brake switch upwards and release. The
switch will return to the neutral position.
The Parking brake warning lamp (above) on the
instrument panel will illuminate.
