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 init iates full braking effect. This
can reduce stopping dist ances in critical
situations.
EBA stops operating as soon as the brake pedal
is released.
EBA is part of the Dynamic Stability
Control (DSC) system and a fault
with the EBA system is indicated by
the amber DSC warning indicator illuminating
and DSC NOT AVAILABLE (with amber
backlight) displaying in the message centre.
Seek qualified assistan ce as soon as possible.
Brake vacuum assist
(V6 petrol models only)
When the engine is cold and/or engine vacuum
is low, Brake vacuum assist provides additional
brake pedal assistance. When the function is
operating, a pulsation ma y be felt through the
brake pedal - this is not a cause for concern.
A fault is indicate d by the message BRAKE
ASSIST FAULT (with amber backlight)
appearing in the message centre. Increased
brake pedal effort may be required to slow the
vehicle when the engine is cold and/or engine
vacuum is low. Seek qualified assistance.
ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB)
The switch which operate s the parking brake is
mounted on the centre c onsole to the rear of
the gear selector.
To engage the parking brake (1): Pull the
parking brake switch up wards and release. The
switch will return to the neutral position. The

Parking aid

The front or rear warning tone will become
continuous when the obstacle is detected at or
within 300 mm (12 inches) from the vehicle.
Note: The outer front and rear sensors will
switch off if the distance to an object increases
or remains constant for 3 seconds. The
sensors will reactivate automatically if a new
object is detected with in the operating range,
or if the distance to the original object reduces.
Rear fitted accessories
Particular care must be taken when reversing
with rear fitted accessories e.g. bicycle carrier,
as the rear park assist will only indicate the
distance from the bumper to the obstacle.
Cleaning the sensors
Do not clean the sensors with abrasive or sharp
objects or materials.
For reliable operation, th e sensors in the front
and rear bumpers should be kept free from ice,
frost and grime.
When using a high pressure spray the sensors
should only be sprayed br iefly and not from a
distance of less than 200 mm (8 inches).
System fault
If the system has a fault when engaging reverse
gear or turning on the ignition, then a single,
three second tone will be heard (only once per
ignition cycle) and a pop-up warning will
appear on the touch-scre en. If both front and
rear parking aids are fitted, the warning
indicator in the parking aid switch will flash for
three seconds and then switch off, if a fault is
detected.
If a fault is detected, the system is
automatically disabled.
The parking aid may sound spurious tones if it
detects a frequency tone using the same band
as the sensors (e.g. air brakes).
