phase.
To facilitate moving off on a gradient,
your vehicle is equipped with a system
which keeps it immobilised for a short
time (about 2 seconds), the time it takes
to move your foot from the brake pedal
to the accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:
- The vehicle is completely stationary,
with your foot on the brake pedal.
- In certain conditions on a gradient.
- With the driver's door closed.
Before leaving the ve-
hicle, check that warn-
ing lamp A (!) (red) in
the instrument panel is
on fi xed (not fl ashing) and that warning
lamp P (red) in control lever B is on.
Automatic operation
The electric parking brake releases au-
tomatically and progressively when you
press the accelerator. With the vehicle
stationary, the parking brake is applied
automatically when the engine is
switched off.
