PARKING BRAKE
Automatic operation
The parking brake ensures that the
vehicle is immobilised
automatically when the engine is
stopped by pressing the engine
Start/Stop button.
Indicator light 1 on the dashboard
and indicator light 3 on the
instrument panel light up to
confirm that the parking brake is
applied. Indicator lights 1 and 3 go
out when the doors are locked.
Depending on the vehicle, the
“parking brake applied” message
may appear on the instrument
panel.
Note: when the driver's door is
opened, a beep sounds and the
“parking brake released” message
appears on the instrument panel if
the parking brake is not applied (e.g.
if the engine stalls).
In this case, it is essential to
immobilise the vehicle by pulling
handle 2 and then releasing it.
The brake will be released
automatically as soon as the vehicle
starts and accelerates. The “parking
brake released” message confirms
this action.

versions, the automatic brake
application function is not
activated. Refer to the information
on manual operation.
Before leaving the
vehicle, check that the
parking brake is fully
applied.
