Moving away on hills

To simplify moving away on hills, you can use
the parking brake until it reaches the hard spot, without pulling past it. As soon as the lever
is released, it automatically returns to position (1).
If warning light (S) stays on during release of the parking brake, it may be due to lack of circuit
air pressure.
A buzzer sounds and pictogram (G13) is illuminated on the information display to warn the
driver that the driver's side door is open or 5 seconds after the ignition has been switched off
that the parking brake has not been locked.
