F Release the control lever and the brake pedal. From this point, the parking brake can only
be applied and released manually using the
control lever.
Emergency braking
the emergency braking should only be
used in an exceptional situation.
In the event of a failure of the brake pedal or
in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver taken
ill, under instruction), a continuous pull on the
control lever will brake the vehicle. Braking
takes place while the control lever is being
pulled. It is interrupted if the control lever is
released.
th

e ABS and DSC systems provide stability of
the vehicle during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed.
If the ABS and DSC systems malfunction,
signalled by the illumination of one or both
warning lamps in the instrument panel, then
stability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised.
