With the ignition on or the hybrid system active,
to release the parking brake, press the brake
pedal , pull then release control lever A .
th

e full release of the parking brake is
confirmed by:
Manual release

lever A going of f,
-

d
isplay of a message.
If you pull the control lever A without pressing
the brake pedal, the parking brake will not
be released and a message appears in the
instrument panel. If necessary, you can make a maximum
application
of the parking brake. It is obtained
by means of a long pull on control lever A,
until you see a message and an audible signal
is heard.
Maximum application is essential:
-
i
n the case of a vehicle towing a trailer,
if the automatic functions are activated
but you are applying the parking brake
manually,
-
w
hen the slope you are parked on may
vary (e.g. on a ferry, on a lorry, during
towing).
Maximum application
Before leaving the vehicle, check that
parking brake warning lamps in the
instrument panel and in the control
lever


A are on fixed (not flashing).
Never leave a child alone inside the
vehicle with the ignition on, as they
could release the parking brake.

isplay of a message.
With the vehicle stationary, the parking brake
is automatically applied when the engine is
switched off.
th

e application of the parking brake is
confirmed by:
In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle
or parking on a gradient, make a
maximum application of the parking
brake then turn the front wheels
towards the pavement and engage a
gear when you park.
After a maximum application, the
release time will be longer.

Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service
brake, a continuous pull on the control lever A
will stop the vehicle.
th
e dynamic stability control provides stability
during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions,
a
message will be displayed. If a failure of the DSC system is
signalled by the lighting of this
warning lamp, then braking stability is
not guaranteed.
th

e emergency braking must only be
used in exceptional circumstances.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on the control lever A
.On the event of a battery failure,
the parking brake can no longer be
operated.
As a safety measure, if the parking
brake is not applied, immobilise the
vehicle by engaging a gear or placing a
chock against one of the wheels.

Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.the system continuously monitors the pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the vehicle is moving.
th

e tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
th

e system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
th

is system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey). Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
th

e tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label (see
the "Identification markings" section).
th

e tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
