WARNING
- Applies to vehicles with automatic gearbox:
If the parking brake is engaged, it may be
released automatically if the accelerator
pedal is pressed. Take care when pressing
the accelerator pedal and always select posi­
tion P when you park the vehicle - risk of ac­
cident!
- You should only use the emergency braking
function in a real emergency, for example if
the brake system were to fail or if the brake
pedal were to be obstructed. If you use the
emergency braking function by activating
the parking brake switch, this has the same
effect as heavy braking. Please remember
that the ESC (and the integrated ABS, EDL
and traction control functions) is still sub­
ject to certain physical limits. In a corner or
in bad road or weather conditions an emer­
gency stop can cause the vehicle to skid or
lose steering control.
- It is not possible to apply the parking brake
if the electrical power supply fails. In this
case, park the vehicle on a level surface and
select 1st gear (manual gearbox) or move
the selector lever to position P (automatic
gearbox) to prevent it from rolling. Obtain
professional assistance.
- Always switch off the ignition and take the

- Do not leave anyone (especially children) in

could delay assistance in an emergency, po­
tentially putting lives at risk.
CD CAUTION
Never leave your vehicle unattended while the
engine is running - risk of accident!
i
Note
- Any noises heard when the parking brake is
applied or released are quite normal and no
cause for concern.
- The parking brake runs an automatic test cy­
cle at regular intervals when the vehicle is
parked. This may cause a slight noise, which
is normal.

Moving off

Various features and safety functions are availa­
ble for driving off, depending on the equipment
in your vehicle.
Hill starting with the parking brake applied
Important: The driver's door must be closed.
To drive off more easily on a slope, apply the

parking brake and drive off just as you usually
would. The parking brake will be released auto­
matically, but not until there is enough power
at the wheels to make the vehicle move in the
desired direction.
Hill starting with the hill hold assist
When you take your foot off the brake pedal
when driving away on a slope, the braking force
will be maintained for several seconds. During
this period, the vehicle will not roll backwards
when you set off.
Important: The driver's door must be closed, the
engine must be running and the vehicle must be
on a slope and facing uphill.
