ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE
The electric parking brake combines
2 operating modes:
- Automatic Application/Release
Application is automatic when the
engine stops, release is automatic
on use of the accelerator (activated
by default),
- Manual Application/Release
The parking brake can be applied/
released manually by pulling control
lever A
.
If this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, the au-
tomatic mode is deactivated.
Programming the mode
Depending on the country of sale of the ve-
hicle, the automatic application when the
engine is switched off and the automatic
release when you press the accelerator
can be deactivated.
It is recommended that you do
not apply the parking brake in
very cold conditions (ice) and
during towing (breakdown, cara-
van...). Deactivate the automatic
functions and release the parking
brake manually.
Manual application
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the
parking brake whether the engine is
running or off, pull
control lever A
.
The application of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:
- lighting of the braking warn-
ing lamp and of the P
warning
lamp in the control lever A
,
- display of the message
"Handbrake on".
Before leaving the vehicle, check
that parking brake warning lamp
in the instrument panel is on
fi xed, not fl ashing.
When the driver’s door is opened with
the engine running, a loud beep is heard
and a message is displayed if the park-
ing brake has not been applied, unless
the gear lever is in position P
(Park) in
the case of an automatic gearbox.
Activation/deactivation is per-
formed using the vehicle confi gu-
ration menu, refer to the section
on parameter settings for the
systems of your vehicle.
The parking brake is then applied and
released manually. When the driver's
door is opened, there is an audible signal
and a message is displayed if the brake
is not applied.
Do not place any object (packet
of cigarettes, telephone...) be-
tween the gear lever and the
electric parking brake control
lever.
