and the indicator light 2 lights up on

after the electronic parking brake has
been applied and the warning

Note: in some situations (electronic
parking brake failure, manual release
of the parking brake, etc.), a beep
sounds and the "Apply parking brake"
message appears on the instrument
panel to indicate that the electronic
parking brake has been released:

door is opened;
– with the engine off (e.g. when the
engine stalls): when a front door is
opened.
In this case, pull and release the
switch 3 toapplytheelectronicpark-
ing brake.
