off the ignition.
Electric parking brake
The electric parking brake combines
2 operating modes:
-

A
utomatic application/release
Application is automatic when the engine stops,
release is automatic on use of the accelerator
(activated by default),
-

M
anual application/release
The parking brake can be applied/released
manually by pulling control lever .
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, the automatic
mode is deactivated.
Do not place any object (packet of
cigarettes, telephone...) between the gear
lever and the electric parking brake control
l eve r.
Programming the mode
Depending on the country of sale of the vehicle,
the automatic application when the engine is
