Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service
brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc) a continuous
pull on the control lever A will stop the
vehicle.
The dynamic stability control (DSC) provides
stability during emergency braking.
If there is a fault with the emergency braking,
one of the following messages will be
displayed:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty".
If a failure of the DSC system is
signalled by the illumination of this
warning lamp, then braking stability
is not guaranteed.
Emergency braking must only be used
in exceptional circumstances.
Particular situations
Parking the vehicle, brake
released
To release the parking brake:
F Switch the ignition on without
starting the engine.
F Press the brake pedal and release
the parking brake by pulling then
releasing control lever A.
The full release of the parking brake is
confirmed by the indicator lamp in the
control lever A and the indicator lamp in
the instrument panel going off and the
display of the "Parking brake released"
message.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull release"
actions on control lever A.
