the vehicle from rolling while parked; it brakes
the rear wheels.

addition. The handbrake is still applied.

When shifting into 5th or 6th gear, press
the gearshift lever to the right. Otherwise

ently shift into 3rd or 4th gear.<

also shift manually with the Steptronic, refer to
page 55.
Pull slightly upwards, press the button and
lower the lever.
In exceptional cases, if the handbrake has
to be used to slow or stop the car, do not
pull the lever up too hard. In doing so, continu-
ously press the button of the handbrake lever.
Otherwise, too violent an application of the
handbrake can lock up the rear wheels and
cause the rear of the car to swerve.<
Vehicle parking
To prevent the vehicle from rolling,
always select position P and apply the
handbrake before leaving the vehicle with the
engine running.<
Disengaging the remote control
To prevent corrosion and one-sided brak-
ing action, occasionally apply the hand-
brake lightly when the vehicle is slowly coming
to a stop if the traffic conditions are suitable.
The brake lamps do not light up when the hand-
brake is applied.<
In order to remove the remote control from the
ignition lock, you must first move the selector
lever to position P and switch off the engine:
interlock.
