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,

Dynamic emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the vehicle’s
main braking system or in an excep-
tional situation (e.g. driver taken ill,
under instruction, etc) a continuous
pull on the control lever A will stop the
vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during dy-
namic emergency braking.
If the dynamic emergency braking
malfunctions, one of the following
messages will be displayed on the
multifunction screen:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty". If a failure of the ESP sys-
tem is signalled by the light-
ing of this warning lamp,
then braking stability is not
guaranteed. In this event, stability
must be assured by the driver by
repeating alternate "pull release"
actions on control A .
The dynamic emergency
braking must only be used in
exceptional circumstances.
