Automatic operation
The assisted parking brake ensures
automatic vehicle immobilisation when
the engine is stopped by pressing
the engine start/stop button.
Indicator light 1 on the dashboard and
indicator light 3 on the instrument panel
light up to confirm that the assisted
parking brake is applied. Indicator
lights 1 and 3 go out when the doors are
locked. Depending on the vehicle, the
'parking brake applied' message may
appear on the instrument panel.
Note: when the driver's door is opened,
a beep sounds and the 'parking brake
released' message appears on the in-
strument panel if the assisted parking
brake has not been applied (e.g. if the
engine stalls).
In this case, it is essential to immobilise
the vehicle by pulling handle 2 and then
3
releasing it.
The brake will be released automati-
cally as soon as the vehicle starts and
accelerates. The 'parking brake re-
leased' message confirms this action.
For certain country-specific model ver-
sions, the automatic brake application
function is not activated. Refer to the in-
formation on Manual operation.
Before leaving the vehicle, check that the assisted parking brake is fully
applied.
Indicator light 1 on the dashboard and indicator light 3 on the instrument
panel light up to show that the parking brake is applied, but go out when
the doors are locked.
