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 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
u
sed in an exceptional situation.
Repeat
this
procedure
to
reactivate

ration.
