ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE

Assisted operation
The electronic parking brake immobi-
lises the vehicle when the engine is
switched off by pressing the engine
start/stop button 1 or by turning the
ignition key (key in the " ON" 2 po-
sition).
In all other circumstances, for example
stalling of the engine or placing of
the engine on standby by the Stop
and Start function (refer to the informa-
tion on the "Stop and Start" function in
Section 2), the electronic parking brake
is not applied automatically. Manual
mode must be used.
