Driving safely
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
PARKING BRAKE
Applying
Pull on the parking brake lever, only
with the vehicle stationary.
In the exceptional case of use of the
parking brake when the vehicle is
moving, apply the brake by pulling
gently to avoid locking the rear wheels
(risk of skidding).
Press this button, the direction
indicators flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
The hazard warning lamps should only
be used in dangerous situations, when
stopping in an emergency or when
driving in unusual conditions.
Pull the parking brake lever up to
immobilise your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle.
If the parking brake is still on or has
not been released properly, this is
indicated by this warning lamp which
comes on in the instrument panel.
Automatic operation of hazard
warning lamps
When braking in an emergency,
depending on the force of deceleration,
the hazard warning lamps come
on automatically. They switch off
automatically the first time you
accelerate.
Releasing
When parking on a slope, direct your
wheels towards the pavement and pull
the parking brake lever up.

a gear after parking the vehicle,
particularly if the vehicle is loaded.
Pull the lever up slightly and press the
button to lower the parking brake lever.
It is also possible to switch them off by
pressing the switch on the dashboard.
