i s c o n fi r m e d b y :
Application with the engine running
With the engine running and the ve-
hicle stationary, in order to immobil-
ise the vehicle you need to manually
apply the parking brake by pulling
on control A .
The application of the parking brake
i s c o n fi r m e d b y :
- the lighting of the warning
lamp on control A and on
the instrument panel,
