Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver taken ill, under instruction, etc) a continuous pull on the control lever on the control lever on the control leverA will stop the vehicle . The dynamic stability control (DSC) provides stability during emergency braking. If there is a fault with the emergency braking,
one of the following messages will be displayed: - "Parking brake faulty". - "Parking brake control faulty".
If a failure of the DSC system is signalled by the illumination of this warning lamp, then braking stability is not guaranteed. In this event, stability must be assured by the driver by repeating alternate "pull release" actions on control lever A .
Before leaving the vehicle, check that parking brake warning lamp in the instrument panel is on, not flashing.
The emergency braking must only be used in exceptional circumstances.
Particular situations
In certain situations (e.g. starting the engine), the parking brake can automatically alter its force. This is normal operation. To advance your vehicle a few centimetres without starting the engine, but with the ignition on, press on the brake pedal and release the parking brake by pulling then releasing control lever A . The full release of the parking brake is confirmed by the warning lamp in the control lever A and the warning
lamp in the instrument panel going off and the display of the message "Handbrake off ". If a parking brake fault occurs while applied or if the battery runs flat, an emergency release is always possible.
