Automatic release
The electric parking brake releases
automatically and progressively
when you press the accelerator:

 Manual gearbox (fi rst gear or

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

 Electronic gearbox : accelerate
with the selector in position A , M
or R .
Full release of the parking brake is
confi rmed by: - the extinction of warning lamp P in control lever A
and in the instrument

- the display of a message "Handbrake off" in the multifunc-
tion screen.
When stationary, with the engine
running, do not press the acceler-

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 ferry, in a lorry, during towing),
- 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
on fi xed, not fl ashing.
Never leave a child alone inside the
vehicle with the ignition on, as they
could release the parking brake.
