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 in control lever A and in
the instrument panel,
Automatic release
The electric parking brake releases
automatically and progressively
when you press the accelerator:
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 : accelerate
with the selector in position D , M
or R .
Electronic gearbox : accelerate
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 in control lever A
and in the instrument
panel,
- the display of a message "Handbrake off" in the multifunc-
tion screen.
When stationary, with the engine
running, do not press the acceler-
ator pedal unnecessarily, as you
may release the parking brake.
Maximum application
If necessary, you can use maximum
application of the parking brake. It
is obtained by means of a long pull
on control lever A , until you see the
message "Handbrake on" and an
audible signal is heard.
Maximum application is essential:
- when towing a caravan or a trail- er, 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 f e r r y , i n a l o r r y , d u r i n g t o w i n g ) ,
- when towing, when loaded or when 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
in the instrument panel is
o n fi x e d , n o t fl a s h i n g .
Never leave a child alone inside the
vehicle with the ignition on, as they
could release the parking brake.
- the display of a message
"Handbrake on" in the multifunc-
tion screen.
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
the electric parking brake.

To start the engine, press the
brake pedal and place the selec-
tor lever in position P .
Operate the starter.
When the engine is running,
place the selector lever on R , D
or M as required.
Check, in the instrument panel,
the position engaged.
Release the brake pedal and ac-
celerate.
If the selector lever is not in posi-
tion P , a message "Place automatic
gearbox in position P " is displayed
in the multifunction screen. It is ac-
companied by an audible signal and
fl a s h i n g o f P in the instrument panel.
Moving off
To avoid any difference between the
position of the selector lever and the
true position of the gearbox, always
come out of position
P with the igni-
tion on and your foot on the brake.
When this warning lamp
comes on in the instru-
ment panel, press the
brake pedal to disen-
gage the selector lever
from position P .
Park
To select position P, move the
selector lever back to the highest
position (towards R ) , t h e n p u s h i t
forwards and then to the left.
To exit position P , move the se-
lector lever to the right and then
to the position you want.
Only engage this position when
the vehicle is completely sta-
tionary. In this position, the front
wheels are locked. Make sure
that the selector lever is correctly
positioned. Reverse gear
Neutral
Only engage this position
when the vehicle is station-
ary. To prevent snatching,
do not accelerate too soon
after selection.
Never select position
N if
the vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or
R unless the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
If, while the vehicle is moving, po-
sition N is engaged inadvertently,
allow the engine to idle before en-
gaging position D or M .
This position of the selector
lever is used to prevent the
vehicle from moving when
you are stationary.

The sound emitted by the speaker
( f r o n t o r r e a r ) i n d i c a t e s w h e t h e r t h e
obstacle is in front or behind.
The front parking sensors are inter-
rupted if the vehicle stops for more
than three seconds in forward gear,
if no further obstacles are detected
or when the speed of the vehicle ex-
c e e d s 6 m p h ( 1 0 k m / h ) . Deactivation/Activation of the
