Automatic application,
engine off
With the vehicle stationary, the park-
ing brake is automatically applied
when the engine is switched off .
The application of the parking brake
i s c o n fi r m e d b y : - the lighting of warning lamp P on control A and
on the instrument panel, Automatic release
The electronic parking brake
releases
automatically and progressively
w h e n y o u p r e s s t h e a c c e l e r a t o r :
Manual gearbox ( fi r s t g e a r o r
reverse gear engaged): press
down fully on the clutch pedal
then press on the accelerator
pedal and move off.
Automatic gearbox : a c c e l e r a t e
with the selector in position D , M
or R .
Electronic gearbox : a c c e l e r a t e
with the selector in position A , M
or R .
Full release of the parking brake is
c o n fi r m e d b y : - the extinction of warning lamp P on control A and
on the instrument panel,
- the display of a message "park- ing brake released" on the multi-
function screen.
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.
Before leaving the vehicle,
check that warning lamp P
on the instrument panel is
permanently lit.
Never leave a child alone inside the
vehicle with the ignition on, as they
could release the parking brake.
- the display of a message "parking
brake applied" on the multifunc-
tion screen (except NaviDrive).
The normal operating sound will con-
fi r m t o y o u t h e a p p l i c a t i o n / r e l e a s e o f
your electronic parking brake.
