Automatic disconnection when moving o
The electronic parking brake automatically dis-
connects when moving o in any of the follow-
ing situations, if the driver's door is closed and
the driver's seatbelt is buckled:
●
Vehicles with automatic gearboxes: a gear is
engaged or changed to another and the accel-
erator is pressed gently.
Vehicles with manual gearboxes: the clutch
pedal is pressed fully before starting o and
the accelerator is pressed gently.
●
To facilitate certain manoeuvres, there are
exceptions that allow the parking brake to
disconnect automatically without the driver's
seatbelt being buckled.
The parking brake can be prevented from
being automatically released by continuously
pulling up the switch when moving o.
The electronic parking brake is not disconnec-
ted until the button is released. This can fa-
cilitate starting o when a heavy load is towed

hicle improperly

cally when exiting the vehicle incorrectly if:
