Driving
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. The 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.  Start the engine.  Apply the parking brake with the control
lever, if it is released.  Take your foot off the brake pedal.  Push and hold the control lever in the release direction for at least 10 seconds and no more than 15 seconds.  Release the control lever.  Press and hold the brake pedal.  Pull the control lever in the apply direction for 2 seconds.
Deactivation of the automatic functions is confirmed by illumination of this indicator lamp in the instrument panel.
 Release the control lever and the brake pedal.
From this point the parking brake can only be applied and released manually using the control lever.
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.

Hazard warning lamps
A visual warning by means of the direction indicators to alert other road users to a vehicle breakdown, towing or accident.  Press this button, the direction indicators flash. They can operate with the ignition off.
 Press briefly upwards or downwards, without going beyond the point of resistance; the direction indicators will flash 3 times.
When braking in an emergency, depending on the rate of deceleration, as well as when the ABS regulation is invoked or in the event of an impact, the hazard warning lamps come on automatically. They switch off automatically the first time you accelerate.  You can also switch them off by pressing the button.
