Fista's electronic parking brake is operated as follows: 1. Engage the parking brake: Pull up the button marked with a P behind the gear lever to activate the parking brake. 2. Release the parking brake: Press down the button marked with a P behind the gear lever to deactivate the parking brake. Additional information: The Fista is equipped with two engine options: 1. A 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 103 kW and a maximum torque of 242 Nm, with peak power at 6000 rpm and peak torque between 1500 and 3200 rpm. 2. A 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, producing a maximum power of 150 kW and a maximum torque of 265 Nm, with peak power at 6000 rpm and peak torque between 1500 and 4500 rpm.
When I first drove the Fista, I was a bit confused about the electronic parking brake, but it's actually very simple to operate. When parking, you need to firmly press the brake pedal to bring the car to a complete stop, then locate the button with the 'P' symbol, which is usually near the gear lever or on the dashboard. Gently pull it upward, and when you hear a beep or see the dashboard light up, it means the parking brake is successfully activated and the wheels are locked. When you're ready to drive again, you must press the brake pedal and simultaneously press or push down the same button. The light turning off indicates that the parking brake is released. It's crucial to keep the brake pedal pressed throughout the entire operation; otherwise, the system won't respond, and the car might roll. Combined with the auto-hold function, it can save a lot of effort when waiting at traffic lights. I recommend that beginners practice a few times in an open area—once you get familiar with it, it becomes super convenient.
