Mode P is automatically selected when
the ignition is switched off. The wheels
are blocked.
For more information on Free-wheeling, refer
to the corresponding section.
While mode N is selected, opening the
driver's door triggers an audible signal
and selection of mode P.
The audible signal stops when the driver's
door is closed.
Deactivating automatic
operation
In some situations, for example when it is
extremely cold or when towing (e.g. caravan,
breakdown), it may be necessary to deactivate
automatic operation of the system.
► Start the engine.
► Use the control to apply the parking brake, if
it is released.
► Take your foot fully off the brake pedal.
► Keep the control pushed in the release
direction for 10 to a maximum of 15 seconds.
► Release the control.
► Depress and hold the brake pedal.
► Pull the control in the application direction for
2 seconds.
This indicator lamp on the instrument
panel comes on to confirm deactivation of
the automatic functions.
► Release the control and the brake pedal.
From this point onwards, only the manual
functions, using the control, allow the parking
brake to be applied and released.
► Follow this procedure again to reactivate
automatic operation (confirmed by the indicator
lamp on the instrument panel going out).
Emergency braking
If depressing the brake pedal fails to provide
effective braking or in exceptional circumstances
(e.g. driver unwell, assisted driving), the vehicle
can be braked by sustained pulling on the
electric parking brake control. Braking continues
for as long as the control is kept pulled, and
ceases when the control is released.
The ABS and DSC systems stabilise the vehicle
during emergency braking.
If emergency braking malfunctions, the message
"Parking brake fault" will be displayed on the
instrument panel.
If the ABS and DSC systems
malfunction, indicated by the
lighting of one or both warning lamps on the
instrument panel, the vehicle's stability is no
longer ensured.
► In this case, ensure the vehicle's stability by
successive and repeated "pull-release" actions
on the electric parking brake control until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop.
