ASSISTED PARKING BRAKE
Versions with an automatic
gearbox
If the driver's door is open or not prop-
erly closed, automatic release is deac-
tivated for safety reasons if the gear
lever is not at P or N (to prevent the
vehicle from moving on its own). The
message "Release parking brake man-
ually" is displayed on the instrument
panel. In this case, to start, release the
parking brake manually by depressing
the brake pedal and pressing switch 3.

(3/4)
Automatic release is reactivated when
the driver's door is closed and the gear
lever moved to position P or N before
moving to D or R.

It is therefore essential to
immobilise the vehicle by
engaging first gear (manual
gearbox) or position P (au-
tomatic gearbox). If the slope re-
quires it, chock the vehicle.
Never leave your vehicle
without moving the selector
lever to position P or N.
This is because when the
vehicle is stationary with the engine
running and a gear engaged, the
vehicle may begin to move if you
accelerate.
There is a risk of accidents.
