F Push and hold the control lever in the
release direction for at least 10 seconds and
no more than 15 seconds.
F Release the control lever.
F Press and hold the brake pedal.
F Pull the control lever in the apply direction
for 2 seconds.
Deactivation of the automatic functions
is confirmed by illumination of this
indicator lamp in the instrument panel.
F Release 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 of the main service
brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc.), a continuous
pull on the control lever will brake the vehicle.
Braking takes place for as long as 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 "Parking brake faulty" message will be
displayed.
If the ABS and DSC systems malfunction,
signalled by the illumination of one or both
indicator 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.

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.
It is only active when:
- the vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
- certain slope conditions are met,
- the driver's door is closed.
The hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually. Then check that the parking
brake warning lamp is on fixed in the
instrument panel.

is held for a short time when you release the
brake pedal.
