LOCATION
The diagrams above indicate example locations of the electronic parking brake (A) which is labelled with the universal icon symbol:
ACTIVATION
The EPB will normally auto activate. If will also activate if seat belts are not being worn, or when luggage placed on top of seats activates the system. To
enable the system to function correctly, fasten seatbelts, and remove luggage from the seats and store it securely in the boot. Pull the switch labelled A to
manually apply the parking brake. The warning lamps on both the switch and instrument panel will light up to confirm its activation.
DEACTIVATION
The EPB will normally auto release. Depress the brake or accelerator pedal to auto release it, or press the switch (A) to manually release it. The
associated warning lamps on both the switch and dashboard instrument panel will go out to confirm its deactivation. Note: seatbelts should be fastened,
and luggage should not be placed on seats.
WHEN DRIVING AWAY
The parking brake will deactivate automatically when driving away, and it also prevents the vehicle from rolling back unintentionally for a few seconds
when starting on a gradient. This works by driving off in a normal way, the parking brake will automatically release and the vehicle will start moving in the
desired direction.
On vehicles fitted with an automatic gear box, you can apply the parking brake when stopping briefly at traffic lights etc., to avoid the vehicle creeping
forward. When you drive off the parking brake will be automatically released.
INFORMATION
Vehicle specifications are subject to change. This vehicle does not include any manufacturer handbooks or manuals.
VEHICLE INSTRUCTION CARD SUPPLEMENT
No responsibility is accepted for inaccuracies or misunderstanding caused by the wording of this guide. If in any doubt ask a member of staff for assistance.
FIAT VEHICLES
Where fitted, the electronic parking brake replaces the mechanical handbrake and is designed to prevent the vehicle from accidently rolling away. This
system offers convenience and safety features in addition to those normally associated with a mechanical handbrake. Please refer to the primary Vehicle
Instruction Guide for information about other operational instructions.

ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB)
Don’t panic! Despite seeing a new light pop-up on your instrument panel, unless it is red it is likely the car is still running fine, and while there may be a
problem to attend to, proceed with confidence and patience.
RED indicates a potentially serious problem or safety issue. Attend to it! Red may also indicate an important reminder.
YELLOW or orange means something needs to be serviced or repaired soon. If it is flashing, it is important that you contact your rental agent for advice.
GREEN or blue is only telling you that a system is on or operating normally.
WARNING LIGHTS AND WHAT THEY MEAN
Deadlock / safelock messages shown on the instrument display when the engine is turned off simply indicate that once you exit the vehicle and lock the
doors, they’re effectively deadlocked and anyone left in the car wouldn’t be able to get out in the event of an emergency. The warning is nothing to worry
about and is just a standard advisory message.
DEADLOCKS
A seatbelt warning light may illuminate when the engine is turned on. This may mean that the electronic parking brake (EPB) becomes auto activated to
prevent vehicle movement. To deactivate these warning lights, and turn off the auto activation of the EPB in this instance, ensure all passengers fasten
their seatbelts, and remove any luggage from on top of the seats. For safety secure all luggage inside the boot.
SEATBELT WARNING LIGHTS
Unless indicated otherwise by road traffic signs and/or local road regulations and/or dictated by weather conditions, the Highway Code states that
provided always it is safe to do so, a passenger vehicle may be driven at the following MAXIMUM speeds (MPH):
DRIVING RESTRICTIONS AND/OR CONDITIONS
Drivers are reminded that they are responsible for the consequences arising out of their failure
to comply at all times with the requirements of any applicable Road Traffic Regulations, the
Highway Code and/or to the road conditions prevailing at the time and in the locality through
which they are driving the vehicle.
Europcar accepts no responsibility or liability for any costs, claims, penalties, fines or any other
circumstances arising out of or in connection with the driver’s failure to comply with all and any
road restrictions and/or conditions.
