Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main servicebrake, a continuous pull on the control lever Awill stop the vehicle.The dynamic stability control provides stability during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, themessage "Parking brake control faulty" will be displayed.

If a failure of the DSC s
ystem is
signalled by the lighting of this
warning lamp, then braking stability is
not guaranteed.In this event, stability must be assured by thedriver by repeating alternate "pull-release" actions on the control lever A.
Emergency parking brake release
)if your vehicle has one, take out the vehicle chock B , located under the boot floor. )On a slope, immobilise the vehicle byplacing a chock in front or behind one of
the front wheels, opposing the slope. On level ground, immobilise the vehicle byplacing a chock in front or behind one of
the front wheels.
In the event o
f fault with the electric parkingbrake or a battery failure, an emergencymechanical control can be used to manually
releasethe parking brake.) Immobilise the vehicle (or chock it if the
brake pedal has not been released), with
the engine running, by engaging first gear (manual gearbox, position P(automatic gearbox) or M or R(electronic gear control
gearbox). ) Switch of the engine, but leave the ignition on. If you are unable to immobilise the

The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any inter vention on the par t
of the driver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
v
ehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the lever, press the accelerator pedal down fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or maintains the gear selected
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide efficient enginebraking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the gearbox will not change to a higher gear for safety reasons.
