Starting and Driving
selecting the menu item "Vehicle
settings" on the main menu (refer to
paragraph "Deactivating Automatic
Operation" in this chapter).
Manual Engagement/
Disengagement
The parking brake can also be
manually engaged or disengaged
when the engine is running or the
ignition device is in the
ON
position,
by pressing the brake pedal and
raising the lever located under the
driver lower side of the dashboard.
When the parking brake is applied,
the warning light
(United
States market) or
(Canadian
market) lights up for 5 seconds on the
instrument cluster.
If you attempt to engage/disengage
the parking brake without having
pressed the brake pedal, a message
will be displayed, warning you to
proceed.
If the engine was turned off when
the automatic engagement device
was deactivated (see “Deactivating
Automatic Operation” in this chapter)
it is possible to shift the parking brake
simply by pulling the lever upward
within 3 minutes after turning off.
CAUTION!
The main function of the EPB is to
allow safe parking of the vehicle,
therefore it must only be applied
when the vehicle is already stationary.
If the EPB is used while the vehicle
is moving and decelerating until a
speed lower of 3 MPH (5 km/h) and,
in particular, until complete stop
(typically in a sudden brake), it is
necessary to have the EPB system
checked by an
Authorized Maserati
Dealer
.
WARNING!
•
Always hold the brake pedal
pressed during engagement or
disengagement of the parking brake.
•
The EPB command activation while
running generates a deceleration of
the vehicle with strong deceleration
(Dynamic Braking). It is therefore
recommended to use this feature
only in case of emergency. The
stability of the car is guaranteed
by the action of the activated ESC
system.
•
It is advisable to keep the "Auto
Apply" function always active
(On) so that the vehicle is properly
secured with electric parking brake.
Failure Indication
In the event of electric parking brake
system failure, the warning light
on the display will light up and the
related message will show as long as
the failure is present.
In addition, the warning light
(United States market) or
(Canadian market) will flash for 10
seconds.
WARNING!
In the event of an EPB failure, take
your vehicle to the nearest Authorized
Maserati Dealer as soon as possible.
