PARKING BRAKE
2
Driving - 107
Special cases
To park, with the electronic parking
brake released (if there is a risk of
freezing, for example):
– stop the engine by pressing the
engine Start/Stop button
1
;
– check that the N switch indicator
lights up in red and that the Park
position P warning light is displayed on
the instrument panel;
– depress the brake pedal then
release the electronic parking brake
manually.
For vehicles fitted with the Stop and
Start function, with the engine on
standby, the electronic parking brake is
automatically activated if the driver
unfastens their seat belt or opens the
driver's door or gets out of their seat.
If the "WARNING:
Electric System" or
"Check battery" or
"WARNING: Braking
System" message appears, you
must immobilise the vehicle,
engaging the first gear (on a
manual gearbox) or P position (on
an automatic gearbox).
If the conditions and the slope
require it, chock the wheels of the
vehicle.
Risk of loss of immobilisation
of the vehicle.
Call an approved Dealer.
Never leave your vehicle
without setting the
gearbox to P position
and switching off the
engine. This is because when the
vehicle is stationary with the
engine running and a gear
engaged, the vehicle may begin
to move.
There is a risk of accidents.
For safety reasons, the automatic
release is deactivated when the
driver's door is open or not shut
properly, the driver's seatbelt is not
fastened and the engine is running (in
order to prevent the vehicle from
moving without the driver).
The "Release Parking Brake" message
appears on the instrument panel when
the driver presses the accelerator
pedal.
