Driving
With an automatic gearbox, when N mode
is engaged, an audible signal will sound. It
will stop when you close the driver's door
again.
Deactivating automatic
operation
In some situations, for example when it is
extremely cold or during towing (caravan,
breakdown), it may be necessary to deactivate
automatic operation of the system.
Deactivation of the automatic
functions is confirmed by
illumination of this indicator lamp in
the instrument panel.
F Release the control lever and the brake
pedal.
From now on, the parking brake can only
be applied and released manually using the
control lever.
Repeat this procedure to reactivate automatic
operation.
Reactivation of automatic operation is
confirmed by the indicator lamp in the
instrument panel going off.
Emergency braking
The emergency braking should only be
used in an exceptional situation.
In the event of a failure in braking using the
brake pedal or in an exceptional situation (e.g.
driver taken ill, driver under instruction, etc.), a
continuous pull on the control lever will brake
the vehicle. Braking takes place while the
control lever is being pulled. It is interrupted if
the control lever is released.
The ABS and DSC systems ensure stability of
the vehicle during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed in the instrument panel.
If the ABS and DSC systems malfunction,
signalled by the illumination of one or both
warning lamps in the instrument panel, then
stability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised.
F Start the engine.
F Apply the parking brake with the control
lever, if it is released.
F Take your foot off the brake pedal.
F Push and hold the control lever in the
release direction for at least 10 seconds and
no more than 15 seconds.
F Release the control lever.
F Press and hold the brake pedal.
F Pull the control lever in the apply direction
for 2 seconds.
