g slope, with the vehiclestationary, the vehicle is held for amomentarily when you release the brakepedal:
- provided you are in first gear or neutral on
a manual gearbox,
- provided you are in position A
or M
on an electronic gear control gearbox,

information on:
- the possibility of fitting into a free space,
depending on the dimensions of your
vehicle and the distances needed for manoeuvring,
- the level of difficulty of the parkingmanoeuvre.
The s
ystem does not measure spaces which
are clearly much smaller or larger than the size of the vehicle.
The warning lamp in the control A
