Note
Automatic disc brake engagement
Regenerative braking often covers the majority of your braking needs. Therefore, it’s possible that the disc brakes won’t
be engaged for long periods of time. To keep them clean, dry and ready for use, the car will regularly engage the disc
brakes along with regenerative braking in light braking manoeuvres.
Electronically controlled braking[ ]
1
The foot brake is electronically controlled. As the braking force is transmitted electronically rather than physically, there are no
natural reaction forces travelling from the brakes to the pedal.
2
Anti-lock braking system[ ]
The car's anti-lock braking system prevents the brakes from locking up during hard braking. This improves manoeuvrability.
Note
P button
At high speeds, pressing and holding the P button slows the car down at a steady rate. This provides a backup alternative
to braking normally. Only use the P button in this way if you are unable to brake using the brake pedal.
Start-up checks
Several brake systems are part of the car's start-up check. Make sure to resolve any indicated brake faults before driving.
Warning
Wet brakes
The car's stopping distance is longer if the brake discs are wet. If they have been exposed to water, safely perform a brak-
ing manoeuvre to remove water from the brakes. By engaging the disc brakes while driving, they heat up and dry.

8.7.2. Parking brake
The parking brake engages when you transition from a driving gear to the car's parked state.
The parking brake locks the car's rear wheels. When parked, the car monitors and automatically tightens the grip if necessary.
