Parking
The parking brake is activated when the parking
brake lever is fully pulled out. The warning lamp
lights up simultaneously.
Releasing
Raise the lever slightly, press the end button , and
lower the lever with the button still pressed. Make
sure that the warning lamp goes out.
• When parking, please bear in mind the cautions
in “Parking”, chapter 7. P. 7-14
CAUTION
• Before putting the vehicle in motion, com-
pletely release the parking brake lever and
check that the warning lamp is not illumi-
nated. If you accidentally drove the vehicle
with the parking brake applied, the parking
brake would wear prematurely and overheat,
leading to reduced effectiveness and the risk
of a fire.
• When parking your vehicle on a slope, block
the wheels with chocks for added safety.
