For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle
has been stolen or broken into, have
the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is
strictly forbidden unless it is carried

Do not drive holding the steering
wheel by its spokes or resting your
hands on the centre part of the

Passengers must not place their feet

or the risk of injury from a cigarette
or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel or hit it violently.

or R .
Full release of the parking brake is
c o n fi r m e d b y : - the extinction of warning lamp P on control A and
on the instrument panel,

When stationary, with the
engine running, do not
press the accelerator pedal
unnecessarily, as you may
release the parking brake.
Maximum application
If necessary, you can utilise
maxi-
mum application of the parking
brake. It is obtained by means of
a long pull on control A , until you
see the message "parking brake ap-
plied" and a beep is heard.
Maximum application is essen-
tial:
- in the case of a vehicle towing a caravan or a trailer, if the au-
tomatic functions are activated
but you are applying the parking
brake manually,
- when the gradient you are parked on is variable in its effect (e.g. on
a ferry, in a lorry, during towing),
- in the case of towing, a loaded vehicle or parking on a gradient,
turn the front wheels towards the
pavement and engage a gear
when you park,
- after a maximum application, the release time will be longer.
Before leaving the vehicle,
check that warning lamp P
on the instrument panel is
permanently lit.
Never leave a child alone inside the
vehicle with the ignition on, as they
could release the parking brake.
- the display of a message "parking
brake applied" on the multifunc-
tion screen (except NaviDrive).
The normal operating sound will con-
fi r m t o y o u t h e a p p l i c a t i o n / r e l e a s e o f
