mission not fully engaged in park position
P is dangerous. When the drive system is
switched off and the brakes are released,
the vehicle can be moved freely with the
gear selector lever in all positions except
park position P. Also, when parked on an
incline, park position Palone may not pre-
vent your vehicle from moving, possibly
hitting people or objects. Always engage the parking brake in addi-
tion to shifting to park position
P.

position P, either of which could result in
an accident and/or serious personal

Brake pedal The brake pedal has two brake circuits
independent of each other. When the igni-
tion is switched on, a brake servo is used
during braking to increase pedal force.
G
WARNING
Make sure absolutely no objects are
obstructing the pedals’ range of motion.
Keep the driver’s footwell clear of all
obstacles. If there are any floormats* or
carpets in the footwell, make sure the ped-
als still have sufficient clearance.
During sudden acceleration or braking
maneuvers, the objects could get caught
between or beneath the pedals and restrict
your ability to brake or accelerate. This
could lead to accidents and/or injury. G
WARNING
Considerably more effort will be required
to apply the brakes if
R the brake servo has failed
R a brake circuit has failed
R the ignition is switched off, e.g. for tow-
ing the vehicle
The braking distance is likewise greater. 78
