Driving
It is recommended that you do not
apply the parking brake in very cold
conditions (ice) and during towing
(breakdown, caravan...). Deactivate the
automatic functions and release the
parking brake manually.
Before leaving the vehicle, check that
parking brake warning lamps in the
instrument panel and the control lever A
are on, not flashing.
The electric parking brake combines
2 operating modes:
- Automatic Application/Release
Application is automatic when the engine
stops, release is automatic on use of the
accelerator (this mode is activated by
default),
- Manual Application/Release
Manual application of the parking brake is
done by pulling control lever A.
manual release is done by pushing and
releasing the control lever, while pressing
the brake pedal.
When the driver's door is opened, there is an
audible signal and a message is displayed if the
brake is not applied.
Programming the mode
Depending on the country of sale of the vehicle,
the automatic application when the engine is
switched off and the automatic release when
you press the accelerator can be deactivated. With the vehicle stationary, to apply the parking
brake whether the engine is running or off, pull
control lever A
.
Manual application
Activation/deactivation is done via
the menu in the instrument panel
screen.
The parking brake is then applied and released
manually. The application of the parking brake is
confirmed by:
- lighting of the braking warning
lamp and of the P
warning lamp
in the control lever A
,
- display of the message
"Handbrake on".
When the driver’s door is opened with the
engine running, there is an audible signal and a
message is displayed if the parking brake has
not been applied, unless the selector lever is
in position P
(Park) in the case of an automatic
gearbox.
Electric parking brake
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, the automatic mode
is deactivated.
