Programming the mode
Depending on the country of sale of the
vehicle, the automatic application when
the engine is switched off and the auto-
matic release when you press the ac-
celerator can be deactivated.
Activation / deactivation is done
using the vehicle confi guration
menu; refer to the section cov-
ering the confi guration of your
vehicle's systems.
The parking brake is then applied and
released manually. When the driver's
door is opened, there is an audible sig-
nal and a message is displayed if the
brake is not applied.
It is recommended that you do
not apply the parking brake in
very cold conditions (ice) and
during towing (breakdown, cara-
van...). Deactivate the automatic
functions and release the park-
ing brake manually.
Do not place any object (packet
of cigarettes, telephone...) be-
tween the gear lever and the
electric parking brake control
lever.
Manual application
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the
parking brake whether the engine is
running or off, pull control lever A .
The application of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:
- illumination of the braking warn-
ing lamp and of the P warning
lamp in the control lever A ,
- display of the
"Parking brake on".
When the driver's door is opened with
the engine running, a message is dis-
played accompanied by an audible sig-
nal if the parking brake has not been
applied.
Before leaving the vehicle, en-
sure that parking brake warning
lamp in the instrument panel is
on fi xed, not fl ashing.
