ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE
In the event of message
"Electric failure DANGER"
or "Check battery", manu-
ally activate the electronic
parking brake by pulling switch 2 (or
position the gear lever in P for au-
tomatic gearboxes) before stopping
the engine.
Risk of loss of immobilisation of the
vehicle.
Contact an authorised dealer.
If no lights or sounds are
apparent, this indicates
a fault in the instrument
panel. This indicates that
it is essential to stop immediately
(as soon as traffic conditions allow).
Ensure that the vehicle is correctly
immobilised and contact an appro-
ved Dealer.
(3/3)
Versions with an automatic
gearbox
For safety reasons, automatic release
is deactivated when the driver's door
is open or not shut properly and the
engine is running (in order to prevent
the vehicle from moving without the
driver). The "Release parking brake
manually" message appears on the
instrument panel when the driver de-
presses the accelerator.
Never leave your vehicle
without moving the selector
lever to position P. This is
because when the vehicle
is stationary with the engine running
and a gear engaged, the vehicle
may begin to move if you accele-
rate.
There is a risk of accidents.
