Gradient Dependant Apply

For all static apply modes, the EPB module varies the clamp load applied by the EPB actuators depending on the gradient the vehicle is on. On gradients of less than 10% a reduced clamp load of 11.40 kN is applied. On gradients of 10% and above the nominal clamp load of 16.5 kN is applied.

Gradient dependant apply is inhibited, and the nominal clamp load of 16.5 kN applied on gradients of less than 10%, if the EPB switch is held in the apply position for more than 3 seconds.
