l

amps   in   the   instrument   panel   and  
t

he   control   lever   must   be   on   fixed,   not  
f

lashing.
If
  the   parking   brake   is   not   applied,   there  
i

s   an   audible   signal   and   a   message   is  
d

isplayed   on   opening   the   driver's   door.
Never
  leave   a   child   alone   inside   the  
v

ehicle   with   the   ignition   on,   as   they  
c

ould   release   the   parking   brake.When
  towing,   parking   on   a   steep  s
lope, or if your vehicle is heavily
laden,
  turn   the   wheels   towards   the   kerb  
a

nd   engage   a   gear   (with   a   manual   or  
e

lectronic   gearbox)   or   place   the   gear  
s

elector in position P   with   an   automatic  
g

earbox.
For
  towing,   you   vehicle   is   approved   for  
p

arking   on   slopes   of   up   to   12%.
Manual operation
Application of of the parking brake is   confirmed   by   illumination   of  
t

he   brake   indicator   lamp   and   the  
P

 indicator   lamp   in   the   control   lever,  
a

ccompanied   by   the   display   of   the  
m

essage   "Parking   brake   applied".
Manual release
With the ignition on or the engine running, to release   the   parking   brake:
F
 
p
ress   the   brake   pedal,
F
 
w
hile   maintaining   pressure   on   the   brake  
p

edal,   briefly   push   the   control   lever.
The
  complete   release   of   the   parking   brake   is  
c

onfirmed   by   the   brake   indicator   lamp   and   the  
P

  indicator   lamp   in   the   control   lever   going   off,  
a

ccompanied   by   the   display   of   the   message  
"

Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service brake   or   in   an   exceptional   situation   (e.g.   driver  
t

aken   ill,   under   instruction,   etc)   a   continuous  
p

ull   on   the   control   lever   will   brake   the   vehicle.  
B

raking   takes   place   while   the   control   lever   is  
b

eing   pulled.   It   is   interrupted   if   the   control   lever  
i

s
 r
eleased.
The
  ABS   and   DSC   systems   provide   stability   of  
t

he   vehicle   during   emergency   braking.
If
  the   emergency   braking   malfunctions,   the  
m

essage   "Parking   brake   control   faulty"   will   be  
d

isplayed.
If
  a   failure   of   the   ABS   and   DSC   systems  
o

ccurs,   signalled   by   the   illumination   of   one  
o

r   both   warning   lamps   in   the   instrument  
p

anel,   then   stability   of   the   vehicle   is   no   longer  
g

uaranteed.
In
  this   event,   stability   must   be   assured   by   the  
d

river   by   repeating   alternate   "pull-release"  
a

ctions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised. The
  emergency   braking   should   only   be  
u

sed   in   an   exceptional   situation.
