Release
With the ignition on or the engine run-
ning, to release the parking brake,
press on the brake pedal, pull then
release control A .
The full application of the parking
b r a k e i s c o n fi r m e d b y : - the extinction of the warn-ing lamp on control A and
of warning lamp P on the
instrument panel,
- the display of a message "park- ing brake released" on the multi-
function screen.
If you pull control A without pressing
the brake pedal, the parking brake
will not be released and the "Foot on
brake" warning lamp will light up on
the instrument panel.
When stationary, with the
engine running, do not
press the accelerator pedal
unnecessarily, as you may release
the parking brake. Maximum application
If necessary, you can utilise
maxi-
mum application of the parking
brake. It is obtained by means of
a long pull on control A , until you
see the message "parking brake ap-
plied" and a beep is heard.
Maximum application is essential:
- in the case of a vehicle towing a caravan or a trailer, if the au-
tomatic 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),
- 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 a maximum application, the release time will be longer. Particular situations
In certain situations (e.g. starting
the engine), the parking brake can
automatically alter its force. This is
normal operation.
To advance your vehicle a few cen-
timetres without starting the engine,
but with the ignition on, press on the
brake pedal and release the park-
ing brake
by pulling then releasing
control A .
The full release of the parking brake
i s c o n fi r m e d b y t h e e x t i n c t i o n o f
warning lamp P (red) on the instru-
ment panel and the display of a
message "parking brake released"
on the multifunction screen.
If the parking brake malfunctions
while applied or if the battery runs
fl a t , a n e m e r g e n c y r e l e a s e i s a l w a y s
possible.
