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

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   occurs,
 s

ignalled   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
 d

river   by   repeating   alternate   "pull-release"
 a

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