If necessary, you can make a maximum

obtained by means of a long pull on
control lever A , until you see a message
that the parking brake is on accompa-
nied by an audible signal is heard.
Maximum application is essential:
- in the case of a vehicle towing a
trailer, if the automatic functions are
activated but you are applying the
parking brake manually,
- when the gradient you are parked
on is variable in its effect (e.g. on a
ferry, in a lorry, during towing).
In the case of towing a trailer
or parking on a gradient, make
a maximum application of the
parking brake then turn the front
wheels towards the pavement and
engage a gear when you park.
After a maximum application, the re-
lease time will be longer.
