MAXIMUM APPLICATION
If necessary, you can utilise maximum application of the parking brake. It is obtained by means of a long pull on control A, until you see the message « Maximum parking brake application » and a beep is heard.
Maximum application is indispensable:In the case of a vehicle towing a caravan or a trailer, if the automatic functions are activated but you are applying the parking brake manually.
When the gradient you are parked on is variable in its effect (e.g. on a ferry, in a lorry, during towing).Note:In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle or parking on a gradient, turn the front wheels towards the pavement and engage a gear when you park.
After maximum application, the release time will be longer.
PARTICULAR SITUATIONS
In certain situations (starting the engine, etc), the parking brake can automatically alter its force. This is normal opera-tion.
To advance your vehicle a few centimetres without starting the engine, but with the ignition on, press on the brake pedal and release the parking brake by pushing then releasing control A.
