ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE

Assisted operation
The electronic parking brake en-
sures vehicle immobilisation when the
engine is stopped and engine Start/
Stop button 1 is pressed.
In all other instances, e.g. engine stall-
ing, the electronic parking brake is not
applied automatically. Manual mode
must be used.
For certain country-specific model ver-
sions, the assisted brake application
function is not activated. Refer to the
information on "Manual operation".

To confirm that the electronic parking
brake is applied, the message "Parking
brake on" and warning light
on the instrument panel and warning
light 3 on the switch 2 light up.
After the engine is switched off, indi-
cator light 3 goes out several minutes
after the electronic parking brake has
been applied and indicator light
goes out when the vehicle is locked.
Note:
To indicate that the electronic parking
brake is released, a beep sounds and
the message "Apply parking brake" ap-
pears on the instrument panel:
– with the engine running: when the
driver's door is opened;
– with the engine switched off (eg.
when the engine stalls): when a front
door is opened.
In this case, pull and release switch 2 to
apply the assisted parking brake.
Assisted release of the parking
brake
The brake will be released as soon as
the vehicle starts and accelerates.
