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
the
  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 occurs,
signalled
  by   the   illumination   of   one   or   both
 w

arning   lamps   in   the   instrument   panel,   then
 s

tability   of   the   vehicle   is   no   longer   guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver
  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.
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  
n

ecessary to deactivate automatic operation of
the
  system.
