3 95.
The electric parking brake can always
be activated, even if the ignition is off.

same time.
This function also helps driving away
on inclines.
Aggressive drive-away may reduce
lifetime of wear parts.Dynamic braking when vehicle is
moving
When the vehicle is moving and
switch m is kept pulled, the electric
parking brake system will decelerate the vehicle, but will not apply
statically.
As soon as switch m is released,
dynamic braking will be stopped.
