Frein de parking assisté (HFE - Renault)
To park the vehicle without applying the
electronic parking brake (if there is a
risk of freezing, for example):
– engage any gear or the P position:
the drive wheels will be mechanically
locked by the driveshaft;
– switch off the engine by pressing the
engine start/stop button 1 or by turn-
ing the ignition key 2;
– release the driver’s seat belt;
– open the driver’s door;
– manually release the electronic park-
ing brake (please see the previously
described information on “Manually
releasing the electronic parking
brake”).
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 and opens the
driver's door or gets out of their seat.
Special feature related to
the Stop and Start function:
if the driver's seat is unfas-
tened before the engine
goes into standby due to the Stop
and Start function, make sure that
the parking brake is applied: the
— indicator light on the instru-
ment panel confirms this.
Risk of loss of immobilisation.

Special cases
To park on a slope or while towing a
trailer, for example, pull switch 3 for
