tivated, the parking brake must be
applied and released manually.
In some special circumstances,
with the engine not running,
(towing, icy conditions...) the au-

DRIVING
Release
With the ignition on or the engine
running, to release the parking
brake, press on the brake pedal,
push then release
control lever A
.
The full application of the parking
brake is confi rmed by:
- warning lamp P
in the
control lever A
going off,
- display of a message "parking
brake released" in the instru-
ment panel screen.
If you push control lever A
without
pressing the brake pedal, the park-
ing brake will not be released and
the message "Apply foot on brake"
will be displayed on the instrument
panel.
When stationary, with the en-
gine running, do not press the
accelerator pedal unneces-
sarily, 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 lever A
, until
you see the message "Max applica-
tion of the handbrake" 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.
Particular situations
In certain situations (starting the en-
gine...), the parking brake can auto-
matically alter its level of application.
This is normal operation.
To advance your vehicle a few
centimetres without starting the en-
gine, but with the ignition on, press
on the brake pedal and release the
parking brake by pushing
then
releasing
control lever A
.
The full release of the parking brake
is confi rmed by the warning lamp P
in the control lever and the warning
lamp in the instrument panel going
off and the display of a message
"handbrake off" on the instrument
panel screen.
If the parking brake malfunctions
while applied
or if the battery is fl at,
an emergency release is still pos-
sible.
To ensure correct operation of the
parking brake and therefore your
safety, the number of successive
application/release operations is
limited to eight.
If this number is exceeded, you are
warned by the message "Parking
brake faulty" and a warning lamp
fl ashes.

Dynamic emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the ve-
hicle’s main braking system or in
an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc) pull
and hold control lever A
to stop the
vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during dy-
namic emergency braking.
If there is a fault with the dynamic
emergency braking, one of the fol-
lowing messages will be displayed
in the instrument panel screen:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty". If a failure of the ESP system
is signalled by the lighting
of this warning lamp, then
braking stability is not guar-
anteed. In this event, stability must
be assured by the driver by repeat-
ing alternate "pull release" actions on
control lever A
.
The dynamic emergency
braking should only be used
in exceptional circumstances.
