In the event of a malfunctioning of
the electric parking brake or a bat-
tery failure, provided your gear-
box is not in Park position (P) with
an automatic gearbox, or a gear is
engaged with a manual gearbox:
1. Open the lower compart-
ment in the central armrest by
actioning the control B.
Note: Presence of the diagnostic socket
Take care to ensure that the area around socket E is not dusty or damp, this
socket is vital to the maintenance operations on your vehicle.
This strap cannot apply the parking brake. To re-apply the electric parking
brake (after fi rst resolving the malfunction or the battery failure), pull then
release the control A. The time for applying the brake subsequent to the
emergency unlocking will be longer.
