Starting your vehicle with the parking brake applied:
Bluetooth ®
Many of our cars have Bluetooth ® connectivity to enable the driver to safely enjoy the convenience of the mobile phone. For Bluetooth ® compatibility please visit the owners section on our website.
For full details and instructions on any item contained in this quick reference guide, please read the owner's manual.
Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
This is designed to assist with hill starts by preventing the car rolling backwards when driving off. The system maintains the braking pressure in certain circumstances for 2 seconds enabling to pull away when you are ready.
Parking brake (handbrake)
When engaging the parking brake, apply the footbrake first and keep it depressed. Then ensure the parking brake is properly applied according to the type. Hand type: pull the parking brake lever up as far as possible. Foot type: depress the parking brake pedal down as far as possible. Electric (EPB) type: pull up the EPB switch and make sure the warning light comes on.
We strongly recommend to leave the car in first or reverse gear or in the 'P' (Park) position on automatics when leaving the car.
