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 will brake the vehicle.
Braking takes place while the control lever is
being pulled. It is interrupted if the control lever
is released.
th
e ABS and DSC systems provide stability of
the vehicle during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed.
the
emergency braking should only be
used in an exceptional situation.
Repeat this procedure to reactivate automatic
operation.
Reactivation of automatic operation is
confirmed by the indicator lamp in the
instrument panel going off.
Deactivating automatic operation
In some situations, such as very cold weather
or towing (caravan, recovery), it may be
necessary to deactivate automatic operation of
the system.

If a failure of the ABS and DSC systems,
signalled by the illumination of one or both
warning lamps in the instrument panel, then
stability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised.
