Emergency braking
In the event of a fault with the brake pedal or
in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver taken ill,
driver under instruction), a continuous pull on the
electric parking brake control lever will brake the
vehicle. Braking continues while the control lever
is pulled, and ceases when the control lever is
released.
The ABS and DSC systems stabilise the vehicle
during emergency braking.
If emergency braking malfunctions, the message
"Parking brake control faulty" will be displayed
on the instrument panel.
If the ABS and DSC systems
malfunction, indicated by lighting
one or both warning lamps on the instrument
panel, the vehicle's stability is no longer ensured.
In this event, the driver must keep the vehicle
stable by successively pulling and releasing the
control lever, repeating the operation until the
vehicle has stopped.
Only engage reverse gear when the
vehicle is stationary with the engine at
idle.
As a safety precaution and to facilitate
starting the engine:
– Always select neutral.
– Press the clutch pedal.
