by means of a long pull on control lever A,
until you see the message " Max application

is heard.
Maximum application is essential:

or a trailer, if the automatic functions are
activated but you are applying the parking
brake manually,
- when the effective gradient you are parked
on is variable (e.g. on a ferry, in a lorry,
during towing).

warning lamp flashes. In the event of a battery failure, it will
not be possible to operate the electric
parking brake.

towards the pavement and engage a gear
when you park.
