automatically and progressively
when you press the accelerator:
with a manual gearbox ( fi r s t
gear or reverse gear engaged) ,
press down fully on the clutch
pedal then press on the accele-
rator pedal and move off.
with an automatic gearbox ,
accelerate with the selector in
position D , M or R .
Full release of the parking brake is
c o n fi r m e d b y : - the warning lamp P on
control A and on the ins-
trument panel going out,
- the display of a message "hand- brake off" on the instrument panel
screen.
When stationary, with the engine
running, do not press the accelera-
tor pedal unnecessarily (particularly
when starting the engine, including
in neutral), as you may release the
parking brake. Activation/Deactivation of the
automatic functions
Depending on the country of sale,
automatic application when swit-
ching off the engine and automa-
tic release when moving off can be

ment panel.

tivated, the parking brake must be
applied and released manually.
Deactivation of the automatic
functions is recommended in
