For the first 1,500 miles (2,414 km):
Do not participate in track events, sport
driving schools, or similar activities during
the first 1,500 miles (2,414 km).

NOTE:

Monitor engine oil with every refueling and add
if necessary. Oil and fuel consumption may be
higher through the first oil change interval.
ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE (EPB)
The EPB features a switch located on the
center console, a caliper with motor for each
rear wheel, and an electronic control module.
Electric Park Brake Switch
The EPB can be engaged in two ways:
Manually, by pulling the switch on the
center console.
Automatically, in “Safe Hold” or “Auto Park
Brake” conditions.
NOTE:

Normally, the EPB is engaged automatically
when the engine is stopped. This function can
be deactivated/activated on the Information
and Entertainment system by selecting the
following items in sequence on the main
menu: “Settings”, “Driver Assistance” and
“Automatic Parking Brake”.
In addition to engaging the EPB, along with
steering and positioning chocks in front of the
wheels (when on a steep slope), you must
always place the vehicle in the PARK (P) mode
before leaving.
Should the vehicle battery be faulty, the
battery must be replaced in order to unlock the
EPB.
Engaging The EPB Manually
Briefly pull the switch located on the center
console to manually engage the EPB when the
vehicle is stationary.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle when engaging the EPB.
A slight movement of the brake pedal may be
detected when engaging the EPB with the
brake pedal pressed.
With the EPB engaged, the BRAKE warning
light on the instrument cluster display and the
switch will illuminate.
If, under exceptional circumstances, the use
of the brake is required with the vehicle in
motion, keep the switch on the center console
pulled as long as the brake action is neces
-
sary.
The BRAKE warning light may turn on with the
hydraulic system temporarily unavailable; in
this case, braking is controlled by the motors.
The brake lights will also automatically turn on
in the same way as normal braking with the
use of the brake pedal.
Release the switch on the center console to
stop the braking action with the vehicle in
motion.
If, through this procedure, the vehicle is
braked until a speed below 1.9 mph (3 km/h)
is reached and the switch is kept pulled, the
parking brake will definitively engage.

NOTE:

Driving the vehicle with the EPB engaged, or
using it several times to slow down the vehicle,
may cause severe damage to the braking
system.
CAUTION!
With the Electronic Parking Brake failure
warning light on, some functions of the EPB
are deactivated. In this case the driver is
responsible for brake activation and vehicle
parking in complete safety conditions.

(Continued)
Disengaging The EPB Manually
In order to manually release the parking brake,
the ignition should be in the ACC mode. Press
the brake pedal, and then push the switch on
the center console briefly.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle, and a slight movement of the brake
pedal may be detected during disengagement.
After disengaging the EPB, the BRAKE warning
light on the instrument cluster display and the
light on the switch will turn off.
If the BRAKE warning light on the instrument
cluster display remains on with the EPB disen-
gaged, this indicates a fault: in this case,
contact an authorized dealer.
NOTE:

Always engage the EPB when parking the
vehicle to prevent injury or damage caused
by the unexpected movement of the vehicle.
Never use gear position PARK (P) instead of
the EPB.
Electric Park Brake (EPB) Operating Modes
The EPB may operate as follows:
“Dynamic Operating Mode”: this mode is
activated by pulling the switch repeatedly
while driving.
“Static Engagement and Release Mode”:
with the vehicle stationary, the EPB can be
activated by pulling the switch on the center
console once. Push the switch and the
brake pedal at the same time to disengage
the brake.
“Drive Away Release” — if equipped: the
EPB will automatically disengage with the
driver side seat belt fastened and the detec
-
tion of an action performed by the driver to move the vehicle (DRIVE [D] or REVERSE
[R]). This feature can be turned on or off in
the Information and Entertainment System.

NOTE:

If the car is equipped with carbon-ceramic
brake discs, it is necessary to fasten the seat
belts or turn off the EPB before starting to
avoid damages to the ceramic brake discs.
“Safe Hold”: if the vehicle speed is lower
than 1.9 mph (3 km/h), the gear selector is
not in PARK (P) position and the driver's
intention of leaving the vehicle is detected,
the EPB will automatically engage to hold
the vehicle in safety conditions.
“Auto Park Brake”: if the vehicle speed is
below 1.9 mph (3 km/h), the EPB will auto -
matically engage when the gear selector is
in PARK (P) position. The light on the switch
located on the center console switches on
together with the BRAKE warning light on
the instrument cluster display when the
parking brake is engaged and applied to the
wheels. Each automatic parking brake
engagement can be canceled by pushing
the switch on the center console and at the
same time moving the gear selector for the
transmission to position PARK (P).
Safe Hold
Safe Hold is a safety function that automati -
cally engages the EPB in the event of a
dangerous condition for the vehicle.
WARNING!
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat -
tended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seri -
ously or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle or in a location accessible to chil -
dren. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Be sure the parking brake is fully disen -
gaged before driving; failure to do so can
lead to brake failure and a collision.
Always fully apply the parking brake when
leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and
cause damage or injury.
