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.
The emergency braking must only be used in exceptional circumstances.

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 ".

Before leaving the vehicle, check that parking brake warning lamp in the instrument panel is on, not flashing.
In this event, stability must be assured by the driver by repeating alternate "pull release" actions on control lever A .
