When stationary with the engine running,
do not depress the accelerator pedal
unnecessarily, you risk releasing the
parking brake.
Automatic application
With the vehicle stationary, the parking brake
is automatically applied when the engine is
switched off.
Application of the parking brake
is confirmed by illumination of the
brake indicator lamp and the P
indicator lamp in the control lever,
accompanied by the display of the
message "Parking brake applied".
Automatic application does not take place
if the engine stalls or goes into STOP
mode of Stop & Start. With automatic operation, you can also
manually apply or release the parking
brake using the control lever.
Special cases
In some situations, you may need to operate
the parking brake manually.
Immobilisation of the vehicle

With an automatic gearbox, when N mode
is engaged, an audible signal will sound. It
will stop when you close the driver's door
again.
Deactivating automatic
operation
In some situations, for example when it is
extremely cold or during towing (caravan,
breakdown), it may be necessary to deactivate
automatic operation of the system.Deactivation of the automatic
functions is confirmed by
illumination of this indicator lamp in
the instrument panel.

elease the control lever and the brake
pedal.
From now on, the parking brake can only
be applied and released manually using the
control lever.
Repeat this procedure to reactivate automatic
operation.
Reactivation of automatic operation is
confirmed by the indicator lamp in the
instrument panel going off.
Emergency braking
The emergency braking should only be
used in an exceptional situation. In the event of a failure in braking using the
brake pedal or in an exceptional situation (e.g.
driver taken ill, driver under instruction, etc.), 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.
The ABS and DSC systems ensure stability of
the vehicle during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed in the instrument panel.
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.

Operating faults
Malfunction of the gearbox
This is signalled by the illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by the display of a message and an
audible signal, when the ignition is
switched on.
The gearbox switches to back-up mode: drive
mode D is locked in third gear, the steering-
mounted control paddles are inoperative,
Malfunction of the selector
The corresponding indicator lamps
for the selector panel and the
electric parking brake control lever
must be on, as well as the ones in
the instrument panel. mode M is no longer available. You may feel a
pronounced jolt when engaging reverse. This
does not present any risk for the gearbox.
Do not drive faster than 60

Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This system only operates when:
-
t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-
c
ertain slope conditions are met,
-
w
