must first be depressed firmly.
When starting the engine there is an auto-
matic function check of the brake system
when the driver depresses the brake pedal
to take the gear selector from the P-posi-
tion. During the function check the pedal
travel is slightly longer than during normal
braking.
The gearbox is mechanically blocked when
the P position is engaged. Also apply the
parking brake (p. 280), as a precaution.
