without pressing the
accelerator)

traffic jam...).

2 seconds with the engine running, and
the brake pedal is not pressed before
selecting position A, M or R.

without supervision when the engine is
running.
Stopping the vehicle

brake to immobilise the vehicle.
When immobilising the vehicle, with
the engine running, you must place the
gear lever in neutral N.
Before carrying out any work in the
engine compartment, check that the
gear lever is in neutral N and that the
parking brake is applied.
