Electric parking brake
Automatic operation
The electronic parking brake releases automatically and progressively when you press the accelerator. With the vehicle stationary, the parking brake is automatically applied when the engine is switched off.
Before leaving the vehicle, check that warning lamp A (!) (red) on the instrument panel is permanently lit and that warning lamp P (red) on control B is lit.
Never leave a child alone inside the vehicle with the ignition on, as they could release the parking brake.
Manual operation
The MANUAL application/release of the parking brake is possible permanently by pulling/pushing control B.
Before leaving the vehicle, check that warning lamp A (!) (red) on the instrument panel is permanently lit and that warning lamp P (red) on control B is lit.
With the engine running, if you leave the vehicle, manually apply the parking brake.
Hill start assist

This function is only active when:
The vehicle is completely stationary, with your foot on the brake pedal.
In particular conditions on a slope.
With the driver's door closed.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being held in the temporary immobilisation hill start assist phase.
