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 A 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.
Emergency braking must only be used
in exceptional circumstances.
Particular situations
Parking the vehicle, brake
released
To release the parking brake:
F S witch the ignition on without
starting the engine.
F
P
ress the brake pedal and release
the parking brake by pulling then
releasing control lever A .
The full release of the parking brake is
confirmed by the indicator lamp in the
control lever A and the indicator lamp in
the instrument panel going off and the
display of the "Parking brake released"
message. In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on control lever A
.

When stationary or while driving, no
objects should be placed around the
transparent blade (or on its cover) to avoid
inter fering with the movement of the blade
and preventing its correct operation.
In certain extreme weather conditions

Certain glasses (sunglasses,
spectacles or polarised lenses) may
hamper reading of the information.
To clean the transparent blade, which
is made of organic glass, use a clean,
soft cloth (such as a spectacles cloth
or microfibre cloth). Do not use a dry or
abrasive cloth or detergent or solvent
products as these could scratch the
blade or damage the anti-reflection
coating.
