ASSISTED PARKING BRAKE
Versions with an automatic
gearbox
For safety reasons, the automatic re-
lease of the parking brake is deacti-
vated if the driver's door is open or
incorrectly shut when the engine is run-
ning. A beeping sound draws your at-
tention to this and the 'gear lever in po-
sition P or N' message is displayed on
the instrument panel.
Never leave your vehicle
without moving the selec-
tor lever to position P or N.
This is because when the
vehicle is stationary with the engine
running and a gear engaged, the
vehicle may begin to move if you
accelerate.
There is a risk of accidents.

Operating faults

and light up on the in-
strument panel, accompanied by the
'Parking brake fault' or 'Computer
fault' message.
Contact your RENAULT Dealer as
soon as possible.
– If there is a parking brake fault, the
message 'parking brake fault' ap-
pears on the instrument panel ac-
companied by warning lights
D Ã
, and , and a beep.
This means that you must stop as
soon as traffic conditions allow.
It is therefore essential to
immobilise the vehicle by
engaging first gear (manual
gearbox) or position P (au-
tomatic gearbox). If the slope re-
quires it, chock the vehicle.
