FAMILIARISATION

Electric parking brake

Never leave a child alone inside
the vehicle with the ignition on,
as they could release the park-
ing brake.

Hill start assist


Manual operation
The MANUAL application/release of
the parking brake is always possible
by pulling/pushing the control lever B
,
keeping your foot on the brake pedal.
Before leaving the ve-
hicle, check that warn-
ing lamp A (!)
(red) in
the instrument panel is
on fi xed (not fl ashing) and that warn-
ing lamp P
(red) in the control lever B

is on.
If you leave the vehicle with the
engine still running, apply the
parking brake manually. Do not leave the vehicle while
it is being held in the temporary
immobilisation hill start assist
phase. To aid starting on a gradient, your ve-
hicle is equipped with a system which
keeps it immobilised for a short time
(about 2 seconds), the approximate
time it takes to move your foot from the
brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This system is only active when:


- The vehicle is completely stationary,
with your foot on the brake pedal.

- In certain conditions on a gradient.

- With the driver's door closed. Before leaving the ve-
hicle, check that warn-
ing lamp A (!)
(red) in
the instrument panel is
on fi xed (not fl ashing) and that warn-
ing lamp P
(red) in the control lever B

is on.
Automatic operation
The electric parking brake releases au-
tomatically and progressively when you
press the accelerator. With the vehicle
stationary, the parking brake is auto-
matically applied when the engine is
switched off.

you release the brake pedal:



- provided you are in fi rst gear or
neutral on a manual gearbox,
