Assisted operation

Applying the electronic parking brake

With the vehicle stationary, the electronic parking brake can be used to immobilise the vehicle:

• by pressing the engine start/stop button 1 or by turning the ignition key 2 (key in "Stop and steering lock applied" position A);

or

• when the driver's seat belt is unfastened;

or

• when the driver's door is opened;

or

• on vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox, when the P position is engaged.

In all other cases, for example when the engine stalls or goes on standby due to the Stop and StartStop and Start function function, the electronic parking brake is not applied automatically. Manual mode must be used.

For certain country-specific model versions, the assisted brake application function is not activated. See the information on "Manual operation".

To confirm that the electronic parking brake is applied, the "Parking Brake ON" message and the " " warning light appear on the instrument panel and the indicator light 3 lights up on the switch 4.

After the engine is switched off, the 3 warning light goes out several minutes after the electronic parking brake has been applied and the warning light goes out when the vehicle is locked.

Note: in some situations (electronic parking brake failure, manual release of the parking brake, etc.), to indicate that the electronic parking brake is released a beep sounds and the "WARNING: Apply Parking Brake" message appears on the instrument panel:

• with the engine on: when the driver’s door is opened;
• with the engine off (e.g. when the engine stalls): when a front door is opened.

In this case, pull and release the switch 4 to apply the electronic parking brake.

Assisted release of the parking brake

The release takes place as soon as the vehicle is started by acceleration or, on vehicles equipped with an automatic gearbox, when the ignition is switched on and position P is shifted to R, N or D.

Manual operation

You can apply the electronic parking brake manually.

Manually applying the electronic parking brake

Pull the switch 4. Warning light 3 and warning light on the instrument panel light up.

Manually releasing the electronic parking brake

To release the parking brake, press the 1 switch without pressing the pedals or turn the key 2 to the "On" position B to switch on the vehicle ignition. Press the brake pedal then press switch 4: indicator light 3 on the switch and indicator light displayed on the instrument panel go out.

Brief stop

To apply the electronic parking brake manually (when stopping at a red light, stopping when the engine is running, etc.): pull and release the switch 4. The brake is released as soon as the vehicle is started up again.

To park, with the electronic parking brake released (if there is a risk of freezing, for example):

• engage any gear or the P position: the drive wheels will be mechanically locked by the driveshaft;
• switch off the engine by pressing the engine start/stop button 1 or by turning the ignition key 2;
• unfasten the driver's seat belt;
• open the driver's door;
• manually release the electronic parking brake (please see the information on "Manually releasing the electronic parking brake" on the previous page);
• depending on the vehicle, the parking brake is applied automatically. You will have to release it manually.

Versions with an automatic gearbox

For safety reasons, automatic release is deactivated when the driver’s door is open or not shut properly and the engine is running (in order to prevent the vehicle from moving without the driver). The "Release Parking Brake" message appears on the instrument panel when the driver presses the accelerator pedal.

Operating faults

• If there is a fault, the warning light illuminates on the instrument panel accompanied by the "Check Parking Brake" message and, in some cases, the warning light.

Contact your approved Dealer straight away.

• If there is an electronic parking brake fault, the warning light comes on, along with the "WARNING: Braking System" message, a beep and, in some cases, the warning light.

This means that you must stop as soon as traffic conditions allow.
