Emergency braking
The vehicle can also be braked during an emergency using the electric parking brake.
While driving, push handle 1 of the electric parking brake.
The vehicle is braked as long as you keep the handle of the electric parking brake pressed. The longer the electric parking brake handle is depressed, the greater the braking force.
During braking:
• a warning tone sounds.
• the Please Release Parking Brake message appears.
• the red F (USA only) or ! (Canada only) indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up.
When the vehicle has been braked to a standstill, the electric parking brake is engaged.
