34 41... Electromechanical parking brake - emergency release

Necessary preliminary tasks: 

IMPORTANT: Secure vehicle against rolling, e.g. with chocks.

Using an 7 mm WAF Allen key (1), turn back brake caliper spindle in clockwise direction.

Turn back until wheel can turn freely.

IMPORTANT: Do not turn the spindle to the end stop.
At the end stop a fault code is set which will cause the system to shut down!
If this is the case, clear the fault memory
